Os Mutantes

Os Mutantes ("The Mutants" in Portuguese) are an influential Brazilian psychedelic rock band founded in São Paulo, Brazil in 1966 that were linked with the Tropicália movement of the late 1960s. Although the original line-up (Rita Lee, Arnaldo Baptista and Sérgio Dias; and later with Liminha and Dinho Leme) made the most notorious breakthrough for the group, it has gone through numerous personnel changes throughout its existence. After a hiatus from the late 1970s to the early 2000s, the band reunited in 2006, touring and recording new material.

Links To Peel
Peel first heard the group in 2003 after reading an article of the Tropicália movement in the Guardian newspaper and wanting to hear what the music sounded like. A track from the band's greatest hits album was played on Peel's show on 09 September 2003 and he also advertised the BBC Radio Three documentary of the Tropicalia movement which was broadcast on 14th September 2003.
