Letieres Leite & Orkestra Rumpilezz

Created by the composer, musician and arranger Letieres Leite back in 2006, award-winning Orkestra Rumpilezz is an elegant orchestra of 20 percussion and wind instrument players led by Letieres himself. They draw compositions from the universe of Bahia’s African roots under the influence of modern jazz. The group celebrates Afro-Bahian musical roots and its universal branches and gives a modern harmonic outlook to the ancestral music of Bahia by blending Afro-Bahian drumming with American jazz.
