From
São Paulo, Brazil, the band was founded by Lorena
Hollander in the mid 2002, together with Rafael Tortola
as an outlet for Hollander’s compositions. In the
same year, Diafanes played several shows and recorded their
first demo. These activities were experiences for the musical
paths the band would follow.
“Created
in 2002 by guitarist/vocalist Lorena Hollander and drummer
Rafael Tortola, the quartet from São Paulo follows
the style of Smashing Pumpkins: climatic rock, leaded by
the vocalists delicate voice. The first cd, Diafanes, impresses.”
