A trailer from the upcoming documentary on
psychedelic rock pioneers "Os Mutantes".
The story of Os Mutantes is perhaps one of
the strangest in the entire history of rock
music, and has served as heady inspiration
for artists as varied as David Byrne, Beck,
Sean Lennon, and Nirvana. Imagine a 1960's
Brazilian rock band on a weekly television
program disguised as aliens, witches, or
conquist-adors performing surreal hymns to
such bizarre figures as Don Quixote (or at
other times: Genghis Khan and Lucifer) while
tossing massive nets and giant rubber
caterpillars across their audience. Add the
fact that they had the courage to perform a
fusion of traditional Brazilian rhythms with
psychedelia at a time when the "MPB" (the
Brazilian music establishment) were openly
hostile to the wild sounds of American rock
'n roll and this provoked even further
outrage by fashioning their own outrageous
musical instruments, often constructed out of
such common household objects as rubber
hoses, cans of hot chocolate, or bottles of
bug spray. Finally, they did all of this
under the watchful eyes of a brutally
repressive right-wing military dictatorship,
as they were regularly censored by the
government while performing alongside such
musical revolutionaries as Gilberto Gil and
Caetano Veloso (who, like many artists in
Brazil at the time, were imprisoned and
exiled for their political stance).
