Bio
The Orkestra Rumpilezz:
The compositions are inspired by the beats of the Orixas (saints) of the cult of Candomble, as well as the great percussion communities, such as the Ile Aiye, Olodum and Sambas do Reconcavo, among other rhythmic influences. The accompaniment is composed of a brass orchestra, arranged similarly to big bands, trough conceived in a contemporary style, influenced by jazz, and marked by improvisations similar to those associated with film soundtracks.
In these compositions, the melodies seek to remain faithful to the rhythmic communities in which brass instruments also fulfil a percussive roll. The arrangements and own compositions are created by Letieres Leite.
