.Os Mutantes in San Jose

No other genre of music has achieved the glorious highs of tropicalia. The 1960s Brazilian psychedelic movement effortlessly combined freaky American and British rock music with sun-bleached bossa nova for a sound entirely its own—and Os Mutantes were one of the leading charges. The band’s self-titled 1968 debut remains a musical lightning bolt, striking boldly wherever it lands and lighting countless fires along the way. And though, sadly, the wonderful Rita Lee passed earlier this year, the band continues on, and “A Minha Menina” still goes as hard as ever.
