Os Mutantes is a Brazilian Psychedelic Rock Band formed in 1966 during the starts of the Tropicália movement and became the faces of it.
The band is considered one of the main groups in Brazilian rock. Like most groups from the 1960s, Os Mutantes were heavily influenced by The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Sly & the Family Stone.
However, Brazilian musicians were also immersed in their local culture, exercising their own creativity in the use of feedback, distortion and studio tricks of all kinds, just as was done by the Liverpool quartet and the group The Beach Boys. In this sense, Mutantes were pioneers in mixing rock and roll with Brazilian musical and thematic elements. Another characteristic of the group was irreverence. Like Os Mutantes, there began to be a kind of mixture of foreign and Brazilian music and the addition of new ideas, with doses of experimentalism, thus opening the way for musical hybridism.
Their most famous songs are "Ando meio desligado", "Minha menina" and "Balada do louco".
Serú Girán was an Argentine rock band, formed in 1978 (the musicians were already widely recognized by their previous groups), it is considered one of the most important musical acts in the history of Latin American music and in the evolution of rock in Spanish, serving as an influence on multiple artists and bands that would emerge in subsequent years.
In addition, Serú Girán would be part of notorious media attention for his socio-political statements against the Argentine military dictatorship that stalked the Argentina during the late 70s and early 80s. Fan submitted propaganda below
"Reconocida como una de las más grandes superbandas del rock argentino y mundial. Todos sus miembros parecen que pertenecieran a bandas diferentes."
"HACE FALTA QUE HAGA PROPAGANDA? ES SERU GIRAN ANDA A ESCUCHAR SEMINARE LLORA TRES HORAS Y VOTA BIEN. BOLUDECES NO."
