"Sonífera Ilha" (Sleepy Island) is the debut single by Brazilian rock band Titãs, released in 1984.
[8][9] The new version, sung by Mello,[4] received a video with guest appearances by band Os Paralamas do Sucesso; musicians Rita Lee, Roberto de Carvalho, Andreas Kisser, Lulu Santos, Cyz Mendes (singer who guest performed on the band's opera rock, Doze Flores Amarelas), Érika Martins, Elza Soares and marcelo fEdi Rock; actors Fábio Assunção and Fernanda Montenegro; sports commentator and former football player Casagrande; and Marcelo Fromer's (the band's guitarist until his death in 2001 and co-author of the track) daughter, Alice.
It came from there the idea of inviting artists and friends that were part of Titãs' history, bringing their personalities and embarking on this state of mind with the band".
[12] The guest appearances were recorded by the artists themselves in their houses; such aesthetics would end up coinciding with the quarantine to which several people subjected themselves due to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
Lots of people saying that the video and the song served as some kind of relief in this distress moment of ours, which made me very happy.
