{"id":21,"count":15,"description":"<strong>Legi\u00e3o Urbana<\/strong> (Portuguese for Urban Legion) was a Brazilian rock band formed in 1982 in Bras\u00edlia, Distrito Federal. The band primarily consisted of Renato Russo (vocals, bass and keyboards), Dado Villa-Lobos (guitar) and Marcelo Bonf\u00e1 (drums). In its earlier days, Legi\u00e3o Urbana also had a full-time bassist, Renato Rocha, but he left the band due to creative divergences.\r\n\r\nWhile Legi\u00e3o Urbana disbanded officially in 1996, after frontman Renato Russo's death, it is one of the most famous Brazilian rock bands, alongside Os Paralamas do Sucesso, Tit\u00e3s and Bar\u00e3o Vermelho.\r\n\r\nRenato Russo (born Renato Manfredini, Jr.) found Legi\u00e3o Urbana in 1982 in Bras\u00edlia, after leaving his previous band Aborto El\u00e9trico (\"Electric Abortion\"). Aborto El\u00e9trico broke up due to repeated disagreements between Russo and brothers Fl\u00e1vio and F\u00ea Lemos, his bandmates. After Aborto El\u00e9trico split and Russo created Legi\u00e3o Urbana, the two brothers would also go on to found Capital Inicial.\r\n\r\nLegi\u00e3o Urbana was initially formed by Renato Russo (vocals and bass) Marcelo Bonf\u00e1 (drums), Eduardo Paran\u00e1 (guitars) and Paulo Paulista (keyboards), but Paran\u00e1 and Paulista would quickly leave the band. Ico Ouro Preto replaced Paran\u00e1 as the guitarist. Dado Villa-Lobos replaced Ouro Preto in 1983. In the beginning of 1984, Renato Rocha joined the group as the bass player, after Renato Russo couldn't play any instrument because of a suicide attempt that injured his wrist. Renato Russo would then focus on the vocals. He also played keyboards and acoustic guitar.\r\n\r\nMany elements helped shape the identity of Legi\u00e3o Urbana. Consciously or not, Renato Russo was heavily influenced by The Smiths and U2, particularly The Smiths lead singer Morrissey, with his extremely personal lyrics and idiosyncratic on-stage performance. He was also influenced by Joy Division's Ian Curtis.\r\n\r\nThematically, Russo and the other members were also influenced by literature, especially that of Portuguese poet Lu\u00eds de Cam\u00f5es, whose poetry is featured in more than one of the band's songs.\r\n\r\nLegi\u00e3o Urbana's self-titled first album was recorded and released in 1985. The album included the hits \"Ser\u00e1\" (\"I Wonder\"), \"Ainda \u00c9 Cedo\" (\"It's Still Early\") and \"Gera\u00e7\u00e3o Coca-Cola\" (\"Coca-Cola Generation\"). The album was released on the EMI label, and the band would stay with this record label for their entire career, with both positive and negative experiences. Most of the songs on the album sounded like U2's first record Boy, also using xylophones effects and The Edge's distinctive guitar style.","link":"https:\/\/www.rockdownload.org\/en\/download\/legiao-urbana","name":"Legi\u00e3o Urbana","slug":"legiao-urbana","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Legi\u00e3o Urbana Discography Download - Rock Download (EN)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Legi\u00e3o Urbana discography download.
