Leno

The smart Leno, in the dawn from the Jovem Guarda, when the Beatles’ sound was the craze amongst Brazilian youngsters, would import the albums from the British group and make Brazilian Portuguese versions on their behalf even prior to the original records found its way to Brazil, just like the “Help” version for the children. Leno’s first specific album following the dissolution from the Leno e Lilian duo in 1968 was the one A Pobreza (Renato Barros), a nationwide strike that pressed his first single LP, Leno, to the very best from the strike parade. The record also had achievement with “Papel Picado” (Renato Barros). In 1969, Leno documented A Festa Dos Seus Quinze Anos, which acquired two strikes: the name monitor, by Ed Wilson, and “E Quando Você Me Deixou” (Pedro Paulo/Obtainúlio Cortes). In 1970, he participated in the V FIC (International Melody Celebration) with “A Última Vez Que Vi Rosane.” In the same calendar year, he documented an uncommon creation, Vida & Obra de Johnny McCartney, with Raul Seixas; it had been censored and continued to be unpublished. Discovered unintentionally in the Sony Music archives, it had been released just in 1995. During 1972 and 1973, Leno e Lilian teamed up once again. From then on, Leno became a manufacturer, doing work for Matéria Prima, Impacto V, and Flor de Cactus (which uncovered the percussionist Laudir de Oliveira, who be a highly effective person in the worldly well-known Chicago). He also documented other appreciated single LPs like Meu Nome É Gileno and, in LA, CA, a edition of “Ruby Wednesday” (Rolling Rocks) with drummer Jim Keltner.
