Os Mutantes

Os Mutantes

Os Mutantes’ 1968 debut is a studio-built act of translation: Brazilian song forms, international pop, political critique, and musique concrète fused by Rogério Duprat’s arrangements and the trio’s instrumental resourcefulness. It is not seamless. It is not polished. It is specific, inventive, and sonically legible — right down to the hiss of bug spray.
