Os Mutantes


Os Mutantes were a late 60's Brazilian band that was a part of the Tropicalia movement.
I'm not really a big fan of psychedelic rock by any means, but I think this music is interesting and incorporates the garage rock sound of the 60's that I do like.
Part of their sound is a broad ranging instrumental mix consisting of keyboards, theremin, harp, and garage-y guitars (especially in "A Minha Menina (My Girl)," my favorite).
Add in their doo-wop harmonizing and it turns into good listening fun.
The band reunited for a tour in 2006.
