About Toto

Few bands can claim the enduring legacy and widespread appeal of Toto. Formed in Los Angeles in 1977, Toto quickly established themselves as a formidable force in the music industry, blending elements of rock, pop, funk, R&B, and soul into a distinctive and highly accessible sound. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1978, featured the smash hit “Hold the Line,” immediately announcing their arrival on the global stage. However, it was their monumental 1982 album, Toto IV, that cemented their status as superstars. This critically acclaimed release garnered six Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for the universally beloved “Africa.” The album also delivered another timeless classic in “Rosanna,” a track renowned for its intricate musicality and infectious groove.

Throughout their illustrious career, Toto has released fourteen studio albums, selling over 50 million records worldwide. Their discography is a testament to their consistent quality and ability to craft songs that resonate with listeners across diverse tastes. Beyond their own chart success, the individual members of Toto have lent their prodigious talents as session musicians to countless legendary recordings, collaborating with artists such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, and Boz Scaggs. This deep well of musical experience informs their live performances, where their technical prowess and telepathic interplay are on full display. Hits like “Georgy Porgy,” “I’ll Be Over You,” “Pamela,” and “Stop Loving You” continue to be staples of classic rock radio and fan favourites, each showcasing their sophisticated arrangements, soaring melodies, and impeccable vocal harmonies. The upcoming performance at Auditorio Citibanamex represents another opportunity to experience these enduring songs brought to life by the virtuosic musicians who created them.
