Renato Russo Stonewall Celebration

The Story

Renato Russo left Brasília for Rio in 1990 and settled into this Ipanema building, where he lived until his death in 1996. The cover of his first solo album, Stonewall Celebration, was shot right at the front of it. The building was later declared a Cultural Heritage site of Rio de Janeiro, the only address in the city with that distinction tied to a rock musician.
