Background notes
Archive material and source history
Iktus formed in Brazil during the late 1970s, a period when the country was dealing with the aftermath of military rule. The band's lineup included Ricardo Nazareth on vocals and guitar, Renato Canova on drums, André Fonseca on bass, and Wilson Lopes handling keyboards and vocals. They drew inspiration from Brazilian musicians like Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento, aiming to use their music for social commentary.
Their song "Dias de luta" became particularly significant, serving as a rallying cry for those seeking social change. Despite this, they continued to address themes of class struggle and poverty in their work.
Iktus released several albums including "Canções de Exílio" in 1979, "Voz da Razão" in 1985, and "Pedra Fundamental" in 1998. They collaborated with musicians like Antônio Nóbrega, Dominguinhos, and percussionist Naná Vasconcelos. Another notable track, "Vidas Alienadas," further demonstrated their focus on social issues through music.
