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.
Os Mutantes began their activities in 1966, as a trio, when they performed on the program O Pequeno Mundo de Ronnie Von on TV Record. On the eve of the program's premiere, the trio had the name "Os Bruxos", but neither Rita Lee nor the Dias Baptista brothers (Arnaldo and Sérgio) were satisfied with that name and wanted to change it. According to Carlos Calado,[2] the idea for the name "Os Mutantes" came from an ironic joke between Alberto Helena Júnior, the program's producer, and Ronnie Von, who, at the time, was reading O Império dos Mutantes, by Stefan Wul, and did not talk about any other subject. "Are you guys still looking for a name for the boys ensemble? Why not The Mutants?" Ronnie Von liked Alberto Helena's idea and took it to the group, who approved it immediately.
The group soon became one of the main exponents of the new MPB, influenced by Tropicália, until it dissolved in 1978. Over these twelve years, nine albums were recorded, two of which - O A e o Z and Tecnicolor - were only released on 1990s, when the group began to be recognized, on the national and international rock scene, as one of the most creative, dynamic, radical and talented of the psychedelic era and the history of world rock. In 2006, the band reunited, without Rita Lee or Liminha, but with the presence of Arnaldo Baptista and Zélia Duncan on vocals. The following year, Arnaldo and Zélia left the band, which was recomposed with other musicians and continues to perform under the leadership of Sérgio Dias, the only remaining member of the original lineup.

Os Mutantes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mais de 1000 HP
Um ! Dune Buggy
Passa e nem dá pra ver
Na hora H
Eu derramei
Na gasolina um barato que eu não sei
(Meu Dune Buggy liga)
Uh ! Dune Buggy
Tem motor de Rolls Royce
Uh ! Dune Buggy
Nada é mais veloz
Na hora H
Eu derramei
Na gasolina um barato que eu não sei
Se é STP ou MSLD
(Meu Dune Buggy liga)
The lyrics of Os Mutantes's song Dune Buggy describe the thrill and excitement of driving a powerful sand vehicle. The song opens with the line "Uh! Dune Buggy, mais de 1000 HP," which translates to "Uh! Dune Buggy, more than 1000 horsepower." This establishes the power and speed of the vehicle, which the singer claims can "pass by without even being seen." The chorus repeats the phrase "Na hora H, eu derramei na gasolina um barato que eu não sei, se é STP ou MSLD" which can be translated to "At crunch time, I spilled something in the gasoline, I don't know if it's STP or MSLD." This line is repeated throughout the song and adds to the sense of unpredictability and danger of the fast ride.
The second verse of the song continues to describe the impressive features of the Dune Buggy, noting that it has a motor from a Rolls Royce and is the fastest of all. The repetition of the chorus adds to the infectious beat and energy of the song.
Overall, the lyrics of Dune Buggy evoke a sense of speed, danger, and excitement, all wrapped up in a colorful and playful package. The descriptions of the car, its speed, and the singer's anxiety before driving it all combine to create a song that captures the spirit of adventure and freedom.

Fui numa porrada de shows dos Mutantes a partir de 1970 até 1974 aqui em São Paulo. Quando o Arnaldo saiu parei de ir, ele era a alma do grupo. .

Como eram os shows em que tocavam o repertório do A e o Z? Havia muito improvisação? Pra mim esse foi o melhor álbum deles, uma especie de transe telepatico psicodelico
