Background notes
Archive material and source history
João Tofoli formed his band in 1985 with Renato Rocha, Marcelo Nova, and Picolé. They came from Aracaju, Sergipe, and their music mixed rock with Brazilian rhythms and reggae. Their 1988 album 'Assinado Paz e Amor' gave them their most recognizable song, which became something of an anthem in Brazil.
That title track, along with songs like 'Maré' and 'Natureza,' carried straightforward messages about peace and unity. The band's style wasn't always conventional, and they faced some criticism early on for it. They kept releasing albums through the 1990s and 2000s, including 'O Mundo É um Moinho' and 'A Vida Que Vale a Pena.'
The lineup has remained fairly consistent, with Tofoli on vocals and guitar alongside the original members. Their music, built on that blend of rock and Brazilian sounds, found an audience that connected with its direct, positive themes.
