Artist all around. Lover of good music and good people.

Leàndro Máttos has established himself as a prominent force in the Brazilian music industry, with his work resonating beyond international borders. His ability to combine Brazilian rhythms with contemporary orchestral and electronic elements yielded collaborations with prestigious artists, such as Shin Rizumu, under the iconic Japanese jazz label P-VINE Records, where Leàndro contributed not only as an arranger, but also as a music producer, author and performer.

One of his remarkable international collaborations includes the creation of string arrangements for guitarist Marcelo Kimura's concert at the renowned Blue Note Tokyo. This project had the participation of the legendary jazz trombonist Iochi Murata, highlighting Leàndro's unique ability to bring Brazilian harmony to the global jazz scene.

Recently, Leàndro's string arrangements have generated admiration and critical acclaim. His arrangements for "Amor Viral" by Serginho Meriti and Camilla Araujo, as well as "Sério pra Caramba," exemplify his sophisticated orchestration techniques, widely celebrated for revitalizing the essence of samba.

Leàndro's influence is also deeply rooted in Brazilian musical history. As a disciple of the great conductor Zé Menezes, he was part of several iconic albums that explored choro, gafieira and camerata music, recording three albums as part of an important initiative to digitize Brazilian popular music. His expertise in the cavaquinho shines in these albums, consolidating his role as a crucial figure in the preservation and evolution of Brazilian sound.

In addition, his contributions to the Berço do Samba de São Mateus project under SESC, and his production of three albums for the celebrated singer Grazzi Brasil, left an indelible mark on Brazil's rich musical tapestry. Each project is a testimony to his mastery, not only in samba, but also in the elevation of Brazilian music to the world stage.
