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 on the Tropicália movement in the Guardian newspaper and wanted to hear what the music sounded like. A track from the band's compilation album was played on Peel's show on 09 September 2003 and in the same programme, he also advertised the BBC Radio Three documentary on the Tropicália movement that was to be broadcast on 14th September 2003. 
Isle of Wight band, the Bees, did a cover of Os Mutantes' 'Minha Menina', for their session for Peel's programme in 2001.
