TÁXI are a landmark band in Portuguese rock, with a career defined by innovation, bold aesthetics and lasting success. Formed in Porto, they emerged in the early 1980s as one of the key names of the new Portuguese rock movement.
Their breakthrough came in 1981 with the release of their self-titled debut album, which became the first gold record in Portuguese rock history. The following year, they released Cairo (1982), also certified gold, featuring its now-iconic tin-can cover that quickly became a cult object. Over the years, TÁXI released five original studio albums, building a strong and timeless catalogue.
Songs such as Chiclete, TV WC, TÁXI, Vida de Cão, Lei da Selva, Rosete, Cairo, Fio da Navalha and Sozinho became enduring classics, remaining deeply embedded in Portuguese musical culture.
Nearly 45 years later, TÁXI remain a timeless reference in national music, continuing to inspire new generations and reaffirm their place in the history of Portuguese rock. A journey that celebrates legacy, identity and the enduring power of rock.
