Titãs
Titãs (pronounced [t͡ʃiˈtɐ̃s]; lit. 'Titans') are a Brazilian rock band from São Paulo. Though they primarily are classified as a rock band, the band have also experimented with genres such as new wave, punk rock, ska, grunge, MPB and electronic music throughout their career
Titãs's initial nine member lineup was composed of vocalists Branco Mello, Ciro Pessoa, and Arnaldo Antunes, guitarists Marcelo Fromer and Tony Bellotto, keyboardist and vocalist Sérgio Britto, multi instrumentalist and vocalist Paulo Miklos, bassist and vocalist Nando Reis, and drummer André Jung, with each member (except for Jung, Fromer, and initially Bellotto), alternating between lead and backing vocals. By 1985, both Pessoa and Jung had left the band, with Charles Gavin replacing Jung shortly after the release of the band's debut album Titãs.
Following a string of critically acclaimed albums, most notably Cabeça Dinossauro (1986), and Jesus não Tem Dentes no País dos Banguelas (1987), Antunes left the band in 1992 to pursue a solo career. The band continued as a seven piece, releasing Acústico MTV in 1997 and Volume Dois in 1998, both of which were commercially successful. Fromer died in 2001 after being hit by a motorist, and Reis left the band a year later. Gavin and Miklos left in 2010 and 2016 respectively, turning the band into a trio. From 2023 to 2024, Reis, Gavin, Miklos, and Antunes briefly rejoined the band as touring members.
Titãs are one of the most successful rock bands in Brazil, having sold more than 6.3 million albums as of 2005. The band's songs have been covered by several well-known Brazilian artists and international singers. They were awarded a Latin Grammy in 2009 and have won four Imprensa Trophies for Best Band.
