Renato e Seus Blue Caps (also known as Bacaninhas do Rock da Piedade) is a Brazilian rock band formed in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1950s. They are considered[by whom?] one of the most important groups of the Jovem Guarda movement, and they have written many Portuguese language versions of The Beatles' songs.[1]
The first name was censored on the radio and Jair de Taumaturgo suggested the final name, inspired by Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps.[2]
Renato Barros died in July 2020.[3]
