Leonor Watling is a singer and actress from Madrid. She was the lead vocalist of the band Marlango and has an extensive career in film.

Both released the album Leo & Leo in 2025, in which they blend jazz, acoustic folk and pop with delicate melodies, carefully crafted arrangements and a very personal interpretation of the songs.

They are joined by The Groovy French Band, with Max Darmon on bass and double bass, Paul Sany on keyboards and Romain Bouiges on drums. The concert takes place at the UMusic Hotel Teatro Albéniz, a Madrid hotel that mainly hosts jazz concerts.
