Os Mutantes
Os Mutantes are a Brazilian rock band closely linked with the Tropicália movement of the late 1960s and later acclaimed worldwide.
Origins
Formed in 1966, they emerged within the Tropicália scene and released their now-celebrated self-titled debut album in 1968.
The sound
Heavily influenced by Anglo-American psychedelic pop, they fused Brazilian sensibilities with studio experimentation — feedback, distortion and musique concrète — into a groundbreaking sound.
Legacy
Their inventive blend of tropicália and psychedelia made them a cult-classic band whose influence grew well beyond their era.
Signature song
A Minha Menina
"A Minha Menina" is among their signature songs, an upbeat favorite that captures their playful, psychedelic style.
