Artist Info: Toccata

Toccata is a Mexican symphonic quintet from León, Guanajuato, formed in 1997 by guitarist Alonso Romero.

After coming back from Los Angeles, California, Romero decided to reorientate the band in 2003 to a style marked by a contemporary flavored symphonic rock that combines the power of the modern prog with 70's stuff.

Of particular note is the keyboard work (similar to Emerson, Wakeman, Corea), resulting in a very fresh and vigorous style, ideal for fans of bands such as ELP, Yes or Dream Theater. [read more...]
