Toto es una banda estadounidense de rock que nació en Los Ángeles en 1976. Con una mezcla única de rock, pop, jazz, blues y otros géneros, Toto se ha convertido en una leyenda musical cuyos éxitos trascienden las generaciones.
En 1976, el tecladista David Paich y el baterista Jeff Porcaro se juntaron con sus amigos de la infancia y compañeros de sesiones de grabación para formar una nueva banda. David Paich venía de una exitosa carrera como músico de sesión, trabajando con artistas como Boz Scaggs. Jeff Porcaro, igualmente talentoso, había tocado con Steely Dan y Sonny & Cher.
Completando la alineación original estuvieron Steve Lukather en la guitarra y voces, David Hungate en el bajo, Bobby Kimball en las voces principales y Steve Porcaro en los teclados.
En 1978, Toto lanzó su álbum debut homónimo, que incluía grandes éxitos como "Hold the Line". La canción alcanzó el Top 10 en las listas de Billboard, y el álbum en sí mismo fue platino en varios países. La fusión de habilidades técnicas y melodías accesibles marcó a Toto como una fuerza emergente en la música rock.
El punto culminante de su éxito llegó en 1982 con el lanzamiento de Toto IV. Contenía himnos que se convertirían en clásicos atemporales, como "Africa" y "Rosanna". "Africa", en particular, ha logrado un estatus casi místico, convirtiéndose en un favorito tanto para las generaciones más viejas como para

[Verse 1]
There's a rumor of a midnight man, so silent in disguise
And every time he looks your way, you can see it in his eyes
Like a window to the storm, he invades your paradise
Don't you buy what he is selling - it's just lies
When he says "these hearts are willing"
The story goes, "these dreams are free"
Only takes a moment, but you must acclimatize
Don't you buy what he is selling - it's just lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Over your left shoulder, I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horns screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the Death card and a shield
[Chorus]
We're walking through mindfields
You see an angel and she takes you by the hand
We're walking through mindfields
Her lips are moving, like she's praying
We're walking through mindfields
She speaks so softly and you want to understand
What she's saying
[Verse 2]
There's a stairway leading to the sun - I walk it in my sleep
And a ship of fools above the sky, who've gotten in too deep
With a doorway into nowhere, and the path is way too steep
Don't you lose your angry soul, it's yours to keep
Where it ends, it's the beginning
And it stays, right to the end
The reason is unclear, my friend, it almost makes me weep
Don't you lose your soul, it's yours to keep
[Pre-Chorus]
Over your left shoulder, I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horns screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the Death card and a shield
[Chorus]
We're walking through mindfields
You see an angel and she takes you by the hand
We're walking through mindfields
Her lips are moving, like she's praying
We're walking through mindfields
She speaks so softly and you want to understand
What she's saying

We're walking through mindfields
You see an angel and she takes you by the hand
We're walking through mindfields
Her lips are moving, like she's praying
We're walking through mindfields
She speaks so softly and you want to understand
What she's saying
We're walking through mindfields
You see an angel and she takes you by the hand
(Brother, take me by the hand!)
We're walking through mindfields
Her lips are moving, like she's praying
We're walking through mindfields
She speaks so softly and you want to understand
What she's saying
