"Sonífera Ilha" is the first single by Titãs, released in 1984. The song, like its b-side, "Toda Cor", was co-composed by Ciro Pessoa, one of the lead singers of the group and who would later leave the band, before the release of their first, self-titled album. "Sonífera Ilha" is among a few of Ciro's contributions to Titãs. The song was a great hit in Brazil by the time of its release.
