Renato Russo (born Renato Manfredini, Jr., March 27, 1960 – October 11, 1996) was a Brazilian singer and songwriter. His first band was a punk rock band called "Aborto Elétrico" (Electric Abortion). The band then broke up and split in two different ones: "Capital Inicial" and "Legião Urbana". He was the formal founder and leader of Legião Urbana. He wrote some very classic songs such as “Faroeste Caboclo” (western caboclo) and “Eduardo and Mônica”. Renato is considered one of the best musicians in Brazil and the band’s estimated sales in Brazil during Renato's life amounted to roughly 20 million albums. More than a decade after his death in 1996 due to complications caused by AIDS, sales of his albums are still considerable.
