Singer

Growing up as an aspiring jazz pianist in Venezuela’s El Sistema, Leo Blanco never felt he had to choose between his love of improvisation and the classical traditions for which El Sistema is famous. With one foot in improvisational jazz and another in classical, Blanco lived in both worlds. The result? A richer, more varied musical upbringing, and a lasting yen to explore and connect with musical traditions outside of what he knew—including those from different cultures and continents.
