Singing and dubbing animated films like Sing! Come and sing! and also performing with his brother Pablo Sbaraglia, renowned musician and composer. The actor visited a channel streaming and he was encouraged to perform a very personal version of, nothing more and nothing less, than a hit by Chayanne.
The protagonist of films like wild tales, burnt silver and wandering heart was a guest of Solar, Solarthe Extraterrestrial Picnic program, where Moria Casán also has his program, where he ended up singing “Provócame”, one of the most popular songs of the Puerto Rican singer who opened the doors to the artist to several countries thanks to his melody and his steps of dance.
In a style between zamba norteña and romantic ballad, Leo put his personal stamp on the 90s hit that is a must-have on radio and Latin pop lists on digital platforms and the video went viral. An example is in the comments that accumulate on the posts where they praise his interpretation, his originality and, of course, his beauty.
“Enough Leonardo, finish it, I ask you please. You are setting the bar very high”, “how to turn a dance hit into a sweetness, the work was called”, “Leo is cute wherever you look at him!”, “he has a charming smile”, “Leo is like wine”, “I never liked this song until today”, “the version is tremendous”, “the real ‘tasty old man’”, “no one has Leo’s charisma, how wonderful he is”, “I want him filling a Vélez with Lali”, were some of the reactions it generated.

There they play a couple with a young son who decides to move to a house on the outskirts of the city trying to escape a serious crisis they are going through. However, family pressures will strain their bond even more.
One of the challenges he faced recently was to put himself in the shoes of President Carlos Menem for the Menem series, which still does not have a release date and will be seen on Amazon Prime Video. “It is the biggest challenge of my life,” he told Infobae. “I’ve had challenges, right? But I think it is the greatest of my life. He is a very difficult and very fascinating character.”, he said.
“Luckily we had the luxury of being able to work at the Casa Rosada on holidays when the president was not there. The fact that they lent us the Casa Rosada was also a huge luxury because you can feel the energy in those walls. I mean, what happens in the body of a president? Only a guy who is within those walls and who has that level of power and dominance knows that,” he detailed, about his process of composing the former president.
In fiction he is accompanied by Griselda Siciliani, who plays Zulema Yoma, and is directed by Ariel Winograd (The Robbery of the Century, Permitted, The Manager). “I learned that Menem was a guy with a great capacity for self-determination, great magnetism and great mystery,” he said, about how he embodied a figure that, even today, divides waters.
