Leiseylento is a BAZAR MUSICAL under the protection of the GREAT PISSING GODDESS.
We define our music as a performance which is flirting both with POETRY and POLITICS. Ideas can grow organically, improvisations mix with rhythms derived from Tango, Chanson and strange movements. Within the sound of the singing saw and the acoustic guitar identities begin to FLOW. Leiseylento is influenced by the surrealist movement and the DIY-Spirit, and admires artists like Claude Cahun, Vaginal Davis, Antonin Artaud and Les Reines Prochaines.
Since 2007 Otok and Cristian Forte aka Beatriz del Río are travelling step by step between Berlin and Buenos Aires. In 2009 the duo found its name: leiseylento. A word built in two languages: „quiet“ in german and „slow“ in spanish.
The Debut-Album called "Repair" was recorded in winter 2010 in Berlin and in January 2011 it was presented to the audience on a tour throughout Germany. The songs deal with the process of deconstruction/reconstruction: The action of repairing as a type of work on something, that might be regarded as worthless, but indeed has a special potential for improvement or transformation.
