美国流行摇滚/融合爵士乐队， TOTO是由六位原为洛杉矶录音室乐师合组的一支合唱团。乐队成员中的Jeff Porcaro和Steve Porcaro是兄弟，他们是爵士乐打击乐手Joe Porcaro 的儿子； Paich是他们两兄弟自小即认识的玩伴；其余成员则均曾因为替不同乐手伴奏，而有过不同的相互合作的经验。乐团名称的由来部分源自于主唱Bobby 的原姓Toteaux 的简称，部分原因则取自童话故事"绿野仙踪"里女主角小狗的名字。 Origin Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California, U.S. Genres Rock pop jazz fusion Years active 1977–2008 2010–2019[1] 2020–present Toto (stylized as TOTO) is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Los Angeles, California.
