O Tao do Trio formed in Brazil in 1988, with Marcelo D2 on vocals and rap, Pedro Luís on guitar and vocals, and Sérgio Britto on bass and vocals. They put out their first album in 1990, which included the song 'Alvorada.' That track, with its title meaning 'dawn,' became a kind of calling card for them, a hopeful piece that stuck around.
Their music pulled from samba, funk, and rock, and their lyrics often touched on social and political issues. This approach sometimes stirred things up.
They released six studio albums between 1990 and 2005, including 'Vivendo e Aprendendo' and 'Instinto Coletivo.' Other songs in their catalog, like 'Amor Proibido' and 'Dom de iludir,' show the range of their work. The trio disbanded in 2007 but have reunited occasionally for performances, and they marked their 30th anniversary with a live album in 2018.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
