Os Mutantes

Os Mutantes records have been passed from musician to musician over the years like cherished gifts, ever inspiring and altering the contemporary musical landscape. As a result, their cut-and-paste, sonic collage approach and tendency for cultural irony is an aesthetic now prevalent in modern music. Formed in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1966, Os Mutantes blended English rock with American psychedelic and traditional Brazilian music to create an entirely new sound reflective of the turbulent times. After disbanding in the early ’70s, Os Mutantes reunited in 2006 and are now touring to promote the September 8 release of Haih, their first album in 35 years.
