Dado Villa-Lobos is a prominent figure in the Brazilian rock music scene, widely renowned as the former guitarist of the influential rock band Legião Urbana. Born on June 29, 1965, in Brussels, Belgium, to Brazilian parents, Eduardo Dutra Villa-Lobos, known by his stage name Dado Villa-Lobos, returned to Brazil with his family in the late 1970s. His artistic journey flourished in the capital of Brasília, where he became an integral part of one of the country's most revered rock groups in the 1980s and 1990s, alongside Renato Russo and Marcelo Bonfá.
