In the Argentinian history books, the caudillos of the different provinces played a fundamental roll in the name of freedom and justice. Today we all need to have some caudillo DNA in order to achieve peace in the world. Come get a taste!Leo Genovese was born in Argentina in 1979 and moved to the United States in 2001. He has been traveling the world playing music for the last twenty years. He has eight albums as a leader and dozens as a sideman. He believes in music as a force of change. He practices the saxophone in hotel rooms. He doesn't support MP3 culture. He cooks pretty spicy food, like his music.Leo has also recorded with Esperanza Spalding, Wayne Shorter, The Mars Volta, Residente and George Garzone.“By refusing to privilege one historical style over another, he strengthens his claim as a polyglot” — New York Times“[His compositions] share an exploratory nature, whether the new terrain in question is a marriage of electronic and acoustic sounds, an unlikely use of chromatic scaling or the successful juxtaposition of otherwise disparate ideas.” — Downbeat
