Attention dip Not exclusively on Legião, but in general among Brazilian rock bands, Today One of the least overheard styles on streaming charts. But the band’s legacy faces an additional difficulty: rights management.

The decline in recent years has come amid disagreements between Renato’s son, Giuliano Manfredini, and other members of Legião Urbana, Dado Villa-Lobos and Marcelo Bonfá, who have halted projects to reissue and publish the band’s recordings.

In 2015, the musicians said that Guiliano had not authorized a box containing material from the band’s debut album. In 2018, a re-release with the remnants of the second album was banned. “All this was rejected by Renato’s heir. I don’t have the patience to deal with it anymore,” Dado told Bim Parana.

In June 2021, the STF . Fund Dado and Bonfa authorized using the name Legião Urbana. But Giuliano remains the heir to the copyrights of Renato Rosso in the band and in his solo career.

When projects come to life, they tend to be reflected in the popularity of the songs. For example, the 2013 movie “We are so young” led to the most searches for the band’s songs since 2008.

“When there’s no product to release, there’s no promotion and marketing. Just like when you don’t release music for a series, for example,” says Chris Foscaldo, author of Legionary Discobiography (Ed. Leya).

“It’s still a very strong business, with a singer leaving such a legacy of followers. It’s hard to take that away from him and a memory dies. But there is a risk of fading out, the arrival of new generations and not knowing it,” says the researcher.
