I appreciate your understanding of the band's situation; minus Arnaldo Baptista on keyboard and Zélia Duncan on vocals the band has got to have suffered.</p> <p>Your buddy at the other blog, with awesome photos and one video doesn't seem to get it. In addition, to say they are Beatles-influenced is a redundant statement. We all were. And Tropicália was about absorbing foreign influences regurgitating them Brazilian. My cousin Hélio Oiticica's installation art of Tropicália was purchased by Tate Gallery. His art will be on display till sometime in September. The psychedelic adjective for OS Mutantes is a misnomer. They are tropicalists later on adding some progressive rock. Anyway, glad you liked it. I have some stuff from my visit backstage to see the boys aafter 30+ years!</p> <p>Thanks!</p> I used to hang out with OS Mutantes 1969-1972 when they’d come to Rio.
