Leny Andrade's eclectic style became better defined with the advent of bossa nova, through which she introduced jazz elements into her singing. Finally, she opted for a synthesis of samba-jazz that refutes much of the delicacy and attention to the lyrics as proposed by bossa nova, in favor of a more energetic interpretation.
Hits:
- "Estamos Aí" (Durval Ferreira/Maurício Einhorn)
- "A Resposta" (Marcos Valle/Paulo Sérgio Valle)
- "Samba de Rei" (Marcos Vasconcellos/Pingarilho)
After be crooner in the Permínio Gonçalves Orchestra, she performed (in 1961) at the historic nightclubs of the Beco das Garrafas, Bacará (accompanied by the Sérgio Mendes Trio), and Bottle's Bar.
