Background notes
Archive material and source history
Torquato Neto was born in Teresina, Piauí in 1944. He formed a band under his own name in 1967 with Jorge Mautner, Ruy Guerra, and Olívia Hime. Their music mixed rock, folk, and Brazilian rhythms, and some found their experimental approach and cryptic lyrics difficult while others considered it innovative.
He left the band in 1969 to work solo, continuing to write music while also moving into film and television. Songs like "Let's Play That" and "Go Back" show his style, melodies that feel a bit haunted paired with lyrics that lean poetic.
His writing tended to circle themes of love and solitude. He died in 1972.
