Background notes
Archive material and source history
Torones formed in 1978 around lyricist and vocalist Lula Queiroga, taking their name from a type of small banana grown in Brazil's sertão region. The band performed at protests and rallies despite the risks.
Their 1984 album 'Torones 84' included 'Aos senhores do poder,' which became something of an anthem for dissenting voices. Other songs like 'Atitude' and 'Eu aprendi' continued in this vein of social commentary. The band's sound drew from folk, rock, and samba traditions.
Torones recorded over a dozen albums with various musicians including Elias Andrade on guitar, Jota Moraes on bass, and Ricardo Peixoto on drums. They collaborated with artists like Chico Buarque and Elza Soares. Their lyrics maintained a critical edge through changing political climates in Brazil.
