Os Mutantes

This event has ended

Button Factory, Wednesday 6th August

Os Mutantes live in Dublin, a rare and intimate return after 18 years.

Legendary Brazilian psych-rock pioneers Os Mutantes return to Dublin this summer for the first time in nearly two decades, an unmissable night for fans of groundbreaking music and tropicalia history.

Formed in São Paulo in the late 1960s, Os Mutantes were at the heart of Brazil’s radical Tropicália movement, blending psychedelic rock, traditional Brazilian sounds, surrealist lyrics, and an anti-authoritarian spirit. Their genre-defying sound and fearless experimentation made them one of the most influential and beloved cult bands in music history.

Over the decades, Os Mutantes' impact has echoed far beyond Brazil. Beck paid homage with his track Tropicália on the 1998 album Mutations. The Bees covered their classic A Minha Menina, and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a vocal fan. Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal and David Byrne of Talking Heads have long championed the group, Byrne even helped reissue their music on his Luaka Bop label. In 1993, Kurt Cobain famously penned a letter to Arnaldo Baptista urging the band to reunite.
