Classic formation of the band “Titãs” will return to action for 10 more shows in Brazil

The famous composition of the Brazilian rock group “Titãs” from 1980 will come together again for a special celebration. Amid the 40 years of history and legacy that the rock band brings to Brazil, the classic members of “Titãs” – Arnaldo Antunes, Branco Mello, Charles Gavin, Nando Reis, Paulo Miklos, Sérgio Britto and Tony Bellotto – will rise again on stage together in 10 shows across the country, on the tour called “Titãs Encontro, from April to June 2023.

It was more than 30 years that the seven main members did not perform together. To represent the eighth member, Marcelo Fromer, who died 21 years ago in 2001, his daughter, singer Alice Fromer, will represent her father on the tour. In addition to Alice, guitarist and producer Liminha will also participate in “Titãs Encontro”.

It is worth mentioning that it is not the original reunion of the band, which featured Ciro Pessoa, who died in 2020, and André Jung, drummer who played in the band “Titãs” for 4 years, between 1982 and 1985, the year he was replaced by Charles Gavin . It was from 1986 onwards that “Titãs” gained great power and name in Brazil with the album “Cabeça Dinosaur”.

Although the confirmation of the special tour of the revival of the golden age of the “Titans” took place through a press conference, held on Wednesday, 16; information about the meeting between the musicians had already been anticipated by the Mauro Ferreira's blog, from G1. The press conference was held at the Central space, at Praça da Bandeira, in São Paulo, with the entire band present among the journalists to answer any questions and speak more about the historic event.

“When I mentioned this (about the group's return) to my children, they went crazy. The production of everyone here by my side has always been of the highest level. So, we are f…”said Nando Reis at the press conference.

“We’re going to have fun. We have more years of friendship than of band. I stayed in the group for ten years, but every time we meet again it’s something filled with lots of laughter”says Arnaldo Antunes, who left the band in 1992 and has been a member of “Os Tribalistas” since 2002.

Paulo Miklos, the last to leave, in 2016, commented: “It's great to be able to speak again as a collective. Common sense has always guided everything we've done”. Charles Gavin, drummer who had been absent since 2010, commented that all the classic members of “Titãs” had a musical background “extraordinary”which gave the rock musical group its untouchable place on the shelf of the most iconic national bands.
