That's very kind of you, but I'm afraid I'm not an "expert" at all. What happens is that, about ten years ago, I used to listen to a
New-Age-music radio program frequently. So I remember several names and songs. But regarding other genres, I just know a few famous musicians, the ones who have had an International success, at least in Europe. And some Italians and Portuguese, due to their similar language.
Anyway, if you liked Rodrigo Leão, I can recommend you some similar Portuguese music. Portuguese have a reputation for making the most melancholic music in the World. In fact, they have a specific word (
saudade) to express a particular feeling, a mix of nostalgia, sadness, love and emptiness.
R. Leão is a former member of
Madredeus. This band's music speaks for itself:

Dulce Pontes has a powerful and awesome voice.
Cançao do mar ("
Sea song"):
Lágrima ("tear"):
