May 23, 2022

Leonardo Canneto is an Argentinian musician, composer, music producer, and meditation guide. Leo began his musical career at age 18, after moving to New York City from Buenos Aires. He made 5 records over a period of 7 years and did extensive touring as a singer and multi-instrumentalist.

Leo was taught Vedic Meditation by renowned teacher Thom Knowles, and he has maintained his meditation practice since then. His lifelong passions are eastern philosophy, the healing powers of psychedelic medicine ritual, community, music, and meditation.

Leo launched Zendo Stereo in 2018. He has performed for over 4000 people in person and via livestreams, with performances in public and private venues across the United States. In 2020, Leo was invited by MIT Santa Barbara to be a keynote speaker with a presentation titled “Music, Mindfulness and Altered States”

 

 

In this podcast, Leo enlightens us by answering three questions:

 

 

1. What's your zone of genius?
2. How's your love life?
3. Why do you do what you do?

 

We end by discussing WeDeepen x Zendo Stereo collaborations and retreats.
