Os Mutantes were a psychedelic band out of Brazil
(Arnaldo Baptista on bass and keyboards, Sergio Baptista on guitar,
Cluudio Baptista on electronics, and Rita Lee on vocals)
that mixed bossanova, samba and acid-rock.
They are featured on Veloso's and Gil's historical album Tropicalia ou Panis et Circensis (1968).
They debuted with a collection of demented songs,
Os Mutantes (Polydor, 1968 - Omplatten, 1999),
a high-volume maelstrom of dissonance and found sounds
(Panis et Circensis, Bat Macumba),
and followed it with an even weirder set,
Mutantes (Polydor, 1969 - Omplatten, 1999), that featured
Claudio Baptista on electronic and home-made instruments, one of the
few albums that compete with Syd Barrett's solo albums (released one
year later).
A Divina Comedia (Polydor, 1970 - Omplatten, 1999 - Universal, 2006),
Jardim Eletrico (Polydor, 1971) and
E Seus Cometas No Pais Do Baurets (1972)
continued the saga in a less sardonic vein.
Everything Is Possible (Luaka Bop) is an anthology.
Barbican Theater (2007) documents a live performance of 2006.
