Toto

Toto is an American band formed in 1977 in Los Angeles, composed of talented session musicians who have left a significant mark on music. Their sound is characterized by a fusion of genres including rock, pop, funk, soul, jazz, and blues, creating a distinctive style that has resonated with diverse audiences. With over 40 million records sold, their musical legacy is cemented in albums like Toto IV, which includes classics such as "Africa" and "Rosanna," and earned them several Grammy Awards.

A key moment in Toto's trajectory was the release of Toto IV in 1982, which not only brought them global recognition but also opened doors to collaborate with renowned artists, such as Michael Jackson on the iconic album Thriller. Despite their success, guitarist Steve Lukather has stated that the band has been "the most misunderstood band in the world," partly due to their eclectic style which has not always been well-received by critics in American and British media.
