2.) The Mystics, Macau / Hong Kong

1.) The Mystics are a singing group which began in Brooklyn, New York, USA in the late 1950s. The group was known as The Overons, a quintet that, when signed to Laurie Records, consisted of Phil Cracolici (b. 1937, lead), Albee Cracolici (b. 1936, baritone), George Galfo (b. 1939, second tenor), Bob Ferrante (b. 1936, first tenor), and Al Contrera (b. 1940, bass). Under the direction of their manager, Jim Gribble, The Overons became The Mystics when each group member wrote a name they liked on a slip of paper, placed the papers in a hat and Al Contrera's choice was drawn.

2.) The Mystics were formed in 1965 during the glory years of HK’s English pop scene. The members largely comprised of hkongers of Portugese decent. The band was popular at the school parties and “tea dances”, and recorded chart toppers like I can’t help myself, Sweet soul music, Midnight hour, Going out of my head, Song of the wind, One day (sang by Don Choi) and Send her back (composed by Michael Remedios and Tony Tavares). They disbanded in 1971.

JÁ FALEI COM OS BOY
NÃO PASSAM DE BOY
MINHA GLÓ CARREGADA
ALMA REVOLTADA FOI SÓ FATURADA,

BITCH AGORA QUE ME DA BUNDADA,
JOGADA ERRADA ME ARMARAM EMBOSCADA
ACORDARAM COM A BOCA

AMARRADA EM UMA CASA,

NADA EVITA ESSE DESASTRE,
QUE MEU PODER SE ALASTRE,
ESSE NIGGA VIVE EM CONTO DE FADA
TÔ COM BORRACHA HISTÓRIA SERÁ APAGADA,

SABE QUE ESTRADA DE JONIN É COMPLICADA
NA KUNAI SÓ UMA RAJADA NAS BUNDA LARGO LAPADA
SUA MOB É O FRACASSO SÓ ME CAUSA ANTIPATIA
MINHA NAVE CORRIA E TU GRITAVA AVE MARIA,

MAS SAIBA QUE BARREI A SUA VIA,
SEM ESCAPE TERMINOU SUA ALEGRIA,
A NOTÍCIA TA EXPLANADA ACABEI SUA HERESIA
PORQUE A VINGANÇA É AGUARIA QUE SE COME FRIA

ACABEI SUA EUFORIA,
ICE BRILHA NOITE E DIA,

ACABEI SUA HERESIA,
PORQUE A VINGANÇA É AGUARIA QUE SE COME FRIA
