Background notes
Archive material and source history
Anjo Torto formed in São Paulo in the early 1980s around vocalist and songwriter Itamar Assumpção. Their music came from the city's less polished corners, with lyrics that didn't shy away from difficult subjects like poverty and mental health. This approach sometimes brought them into conflict with more conservative listeners, but they kept working.
Songs like 'A Escolha Certa' and 'Confissão' show what they did well: Assumpção's voice carrying personal, sometimes troubled lyrics over rhythms that felt both hypnotic and slightly off-kilter. Their live shows were known for this same intensity, the band building soundscapes around his delivery.
Over time, different musicians came through the group, including João Batista Barroso Neto on keyboards and Paulo Miklos on drums. They recorded steadily for years, putting out albums that maintained their particular blend of the raw and the atmospheric without smoothing out the edges.
