"A Divina Comédia Ou Ando Meio Desligado" by Os Mutantes (1970)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Os Mutantes  "A Divina Comédia Ou Ando Meio Desligado"  1970 (Brazil)
Tropicalia was a movement in Brazil that coincided with the Psychedelia going on north of the equator, and the premier pop group of the movement was Os Mutantes (The Mutants). On stage, the trio of Rita Lee and Arnaldo and Sergio Dias Baptista were cute and quirky, yet subtly subversive (very much like The Monkees) - in the studio, they come across as cutting edge freak rockers (ala Zappa's Mothers of Invention) with flaming fuzz guitar leads (courtesy of Sergio), yet their songwriting was also wonderful and sophisticated (in addition to material written by the band, they collaborated with top shelf Tropicalia legends like Tom Ze and Jorge Ben). Their third album Divinia Comedia is among their best, an arresting "non-Western" take on the psychedelic vibe.
