"Lenine takes the music of the world and throws it into a cauldron and then brews, stirs and swallows it all."--Jornal do Brazil

Multiple Latin Grammy-winner and one of the true stars of 21st-century Brazilian popular music, singer/composer/musician/producer Lenine makes music rooted equally in the infectious West African-derived maractu rhythms of northeastern Brazil and his brilliantly syncopated guitar playing. On top of this, he effortlessly layers "funk vamps, shadowy electronics, slide guitar, Afro-Cuban drumming, rock and his own compassionate voice" (New York Times). His sophisticated songs are covered by everyone from Gilberto Gil to Dionne Warwick. Copresented with the Cedar Cultural Center.
