Legião Urbana

About Legião Urbana

Legião Urbana is the self-titled debut album by Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana. It was released on 1 January 1985. Though the band was not a punk outfit, their first album shows the influence of British punk bands from the same time period, particularly the single "Geração Coca-Cola". The album was not successful as a whole upon release, but it spawned several hit singles, namely "Será", "Ainda É Cedo" and "Geração Coca-Cola". Synthesizer-laden ballad "Por Enquanto" is one of the band's most covered songs, as is "Será". In 2007, the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone magazine elected Legião Urbana as 40th in the 100 Greatest Brazilian Music Records. The artwork on the album cover was designed by drummer Marcelo Bonfá. more »
