OS MUTANTES - Live at the Barbican Theatre, London 2006 ((CD))

How did 60's Brazil produce the wildest, most psychedelic rock'n'roll group of them all? And why, three decades on, has the rest of the world gone crazy over them? As the Daily Telegraph (UK) put it 'people talk about cult bands, but there should be a separate category for Os Mutantes, who have had a fanatical following among music lovers for years.' Kurt Cobain, Beck, Devendra Banhart and David Byrne are just a few of the musicians that have flown the flag for Os Mutantes. Against all odds, in May 2006 the band reunited for the first time in over 30 years for a euphoric show at the Barbicans Tropicalia Festival. The recording of this historic concert, with special guests Devendra Banhart and Noah Georgeson, is now to be released, on Double CD, by Luaka Bop.Following the hugely successful "Everything Is Possible", Luaka Bop's amazing 1999 Os Mutantes compilation (it's sold over 45,000 copies!), "Live-Barbican Theater, London 2006" proves the new incarnation of the band is as fresh sounding as the day the rebellious band of teenagers first picked-up their instruments of experimentation.Featuring the most innovative tracks of the legendary group and showcasing Os Mutantes' original meld of beautiful psychedelia and innovative pop, "Live" captures the energy that made this concert surrealistically special.
