Tiempo Libre's rock-solid congüero regularly accomplishes the impressive feat of playing complicated timba-style tumbaos and bloques and singing coro, ALL at the same time! In addition to lots of gigs playing Cuban music in Miami and Buenos Aires (where he lived for several years before relocating to Miami in 2004), Leandro performed as a concert percussionist in Cuba with the Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional.
