In 1994 Leonardo received "The Best Guitarist Of The Year Award" in Uruguay.

In 2001 he played the Pompoen jazz club in Amsterdam and received rave reviews from Walter Becker (Steely Dan) who attended the concerts and has also written the liner notes on the CD which captures this special event.

In 2002 Leonardo released his much anticipated solo effort "Angel De La Guardia" which will be apreciated by guitar lovers and music lovers in general, because of the high standards in musicianship and sound recording quality.

Leonardo has recently left Holland to live in Brazil, where he is currently performing with Ivan Lins.
