I was in Rio last february. The first day I was in a recordstore near the Copacabana and the owner asked me if I had anything to do the next night. He said there was a nice band playing a reunion gig in Rio. It appeared to be Os Mutantes so we got tickets next door.
What amazed me most was the fact that every single person in the place knew all of their songs. It was madness, 1500 people singing along to "Baby" and "El Justiciero". They played all the classics with the original line up, except Rita Lee was replaced by another singer. The back up band consisted of mostly younger musicians but they smoked just as hard.
