Rogerio Duprat - Banda Tropicalista Do Duprat

First CD issue of 1968 album by the producer and arranger behind Brazil's legendary Os Mutantes, who together with Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa were one of the bands to revolutionize Brazilian music and create Tropicalia - a genre in it's own right. Drawing from the Beatles ('Flying', 'Lady Madonna') and other popular hits of yore ('Honey', 'Judy in Disguise') as well as his own compositions, Duprat seamlessly blends pop, easy listening and smooth bossa with spectacular orchestral arrangements and far-out freakouts of the decidedly acid variety, creating one of the most individual sounds of the late Sixties. Mutantes themselves appear on four tracks. El. 2005.
