GIT era un grupo de soft rock originario de Argentina, surgido en la década de los ochenta y parte de los noventa. El nombre del grupo proviene de las iniciales de los apellidos de sus integrantes: Guyot, Iturri y Toth (ex bajista de Los Gatos y de Sacramento, entre otros). El grupo se formó al separarse de la banda de Charly García, que fue el productor de su primer disco. Los temas Acaba de nacer y La calle es su lugar (Ana), de la primera placa, los llevó al reconocimiento del público. Es por amor, tema destacado de su tercer álbum, los llevó al éxito.
