Negro Leo’s compositions move fluidly through different genres. Sometimes provocative, sometimes amusing, he brings together Brazilian folk song, improvisation and rhythmic deconstruction with a critical eye on the reality surrounding him. This portrait film was accompanying his video work for the Jazzfest Berlin 2021.
