O Trovador Solitário is a compilation by Brazilian singer-songwriter Renato Russo released on 13 July 2008[3] so as to coincide with World Rock Day.

[4] It was created with K7 tapes that he registered during his "O Trovator Solitário" (The Lonely Troubadour) era, in which he performed alone with his acoustic guitar in the 1980s, between the end of Aborto Elétrico and the founding of Legião Urbana.

At that time, journalist and producer Marcelo Froés (founder of Discobertas[5]) invited Russo's sister, Carmem Teresa, to sing a version of "Rocky Racoon" with Banda Tantra (a band formed by Legião Urbana's session members) for the Álbum Branco (a tribute to The White Album by The Beatles).

[5] Since the recordings were rudimentary and done in various moments and places, a sound recovery work was necessary, and that was done by mastering professional Ricardo Garcia.

According to her, she would do a live presentation right after a Legião Urbana show (they were on tour promoting their debut album) and, before it began, she shared the stage with Russo to play three songs: "Die Moritat von Mackie e Messer", by Bertolt Brecht; one she no longer recalls, and "Summertime".
