Lenine
02/02/1959
Born and raised in Recife (capital of Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil), Lenine specially enjoyed listening to rock all through his teens, until he discovered the album "Clube da Esquina", by Milton Nascimento, and saw Gilberto Gil performing. As he turned 18, he moved to Rio de Janeiro, to compete in a music festival. In 1982, Lenine released his first LP, "Baque Solto", with partner Lula Queiroga. The second record, "Olho de Peixe", only came out ten years later, though, this time with percussionist Marcos Suzano. The album fomented his importance among Brazilian musicians who would promote the genre in the 90s by merging it with pop music. Lenine’s first solo record, "O Dia em que Faremos Contato", came out in 1997, featuring a pop structure for his mix of electronica, northeastern rhythms and samba. Two years later, he released "Na Pressão". Lenine has been touring non-stop and has had songs recorded by acclaimed artists in Brazil.
