Nothing feels better than taking off - successfully or not, we'll find out soon - the above two tests which in turn frighten one, so to celebrate I am going to give away with another excellent album and for this I need a time machine, because we go to 1968, a year like any other. In the U.S., Elvis; in England, the Beatles, in Spain, Julio Iglesias ... What in Brazil? No, or Caetano Veloso or Gilberto Gil, or nothing at all: Os Mutantes. And who are these guys? Easy, is the greatest thing in music to come out of Brazil since, heaven knows, "Garota de Ipanema ? Bah, better even. I do not know if you heard the Tropicalia movement, but just in case I make a summary:
the late sixties, in Brazil, a pioneering and innovative musical style called Tropicalismo became very strong and we could say that the best out there - this is much say Tropicalism gave very great artists - was Os Mutantes, a group of brilliant Rita Lee, Sergio Dias and Arnaldo Baptista. They were so prolific and talented early stage, the proof is that they were releasing albums at the rate of one per year since 1968, date of publication of his debut album - I'm presenting today - until 1972, were different times, of course . And the content, wonderful! Very innovative musically, something totally new and yet solid and firm as a rock, as if music were playing a genre already established thirty years ago.
Much tropicalia and many bagpipe, but do not have money for big pictures?
As for the songs you find on the disc, you may already may know some of the issues, I just realize that A Minha Menina was used for a Burger King ad where some kids playing out football or something, is not it? Do you remember that? To more than forty years later they still sound as current as the first day, and that's not the only item known as Bat Macumba also has its fame - you will see how it sounds when you hear -. However, the best known of all or at least the most heard is great Baby , calmer than the others, to be a loving within that tropicalia rock so different. There is the most famous and the most harmonious way so to speak, there are several versions of the same issue and perhaps the others can be more beautiful, but this is the more genuine. Judge for yourselves.
I'm not going to cheat, are rare, Os Mutantes are a very strange ... but are rare as it can be a truffle, a diamond, do you understand? His music may not like everyone, but certainly is a great quality in her, an incredible view, and regardless of all this were also great pioneering the use of distortions, couplings and other studio trickery, and this respect lot. To get ending summarize: me all me look good tracks, the album lasts just over half an hour is fun, hilarious especially as few discs I've heard in my life and I also I recommend, what more do you want, sealed an invitation? Give the little button.
