I know I already filled everyone’s bag from talking so much about RenatoBut I believe that if it wasn’t for him, I would never have become a musician. I think if it weren’t for him, Brazilian rock would never have taken the dimension it took. If it weren’t for him, Brazilian rock would never achieve the quality we all know today. In my opinion it is unparalleled. No one else sings like him. There is no one else who can put in words what we feel and do not know how to verbalize. Only him. That is why you must always celebrate it and listen to your work. Long live the Renato and live the Urban Legion!
