LEE (of The Square Egg)

Buenos Aires-based singer-songwriter LEE, formerly of the 13-piece jazz-funk outfit the Square Egg, creates lush old-school soul with dashes of R&B and spoken-word poetry. Backed by brass and strings, LEE deploys his rich, seductive baritone and candid, socially conscious lyrics in fearlessly tackling such issues as race, HIV, religion, and love.
