A description of Leo Blanco would be incomplete if one were to label him as only a pianist. On stages lives the interpreter who breathes improvisation into his compositions. In the world of academia, his experience as an artist influences his teaching as a creative act. In the recording studio or at the moment of the inception of an idea lives the musical producer within.
\nTo say that Leo Blanco subscribes to just one musical role would be insufficient. At his piano, he reveals his profound academic musical training. His Andean origin (he was born in Merida, Venezuela) injects itself into his work as a composer as well as other Venezuelan, South American, African, world music and jazz musical influences.<\/p>\n

To refer to Leo Blanco it is also necessary to describe his powerful drive, which eventually led him to emigrate from The Andes to Caracas and later to the United States and to collaborate musically with artists such as Terence Blanchard, Chucho Vald\u00e9s, Jo\u00e3o Bosco, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Luciana Souza, Bob Moses y Dave Samuels, among others.<\/p>\n

Una descripci\u00f3n de Leo Blanco ser\u00eda incompleta si uno fuera a etiquetarlo como s\u00f3lo un pianista. En etapas vive el int\u00e9rprete que respira la improvisaci\u00f3n en sus composiciones. En el mundo de la academia, su experiencia como artista influye en su ense\u00f1anza como un acto creativo. En el estudio de grabaci\u00f3n o en el momento del inicio de una idea vive el productor musical dentro.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Decir que Leo Blanco suscribe a una sola funci\u00f3n musical ser\u00eda insuficiente. En su piano, \u00e9l revela su profunda formaci\u00f3n musical acad\u00e9mica. Su origen andino (naci\u00f3 en M\u00e9rida, Venezuela) se inyecta en su trabajo como compositor, as\u00ed como otros de Venezuela, Am\u00e9rica del Sur, \u00c1frica, m\u00fasica del mundo y las influencias musicales de jazz.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Para referirse a Leo Blanco tambi\u00e9n es necesario para describir su potente disparo, que finalmente lo llev\u00f3 a emigrar de Los Andes a Caracas y m\u00e1s tarde a los Estados Unidos y colaborar musicalmente con artistas como Terence Blanchard, Chucho Vald\u00e9s, Jo\u00e3o Bosco, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Luciana Souza, Bob Moses y de Dave Samuels, entre otros.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
