O Bando

O Bando was a Brazilian Tropicália rock band from São Paulo.

Their only album was recorded in 1969 in São Paulo by 5 guys and the female singer Marisa Fossa. The production was state of the art hosted by the 3 top producer of Brazil. For 1969 it was recorded in Scatena studios in São Paulo with 8 channels equipment which was the best you can get at this time. The band was part of the Tropicália movement and the recorded music has sophisticated brass arrangements very much like the same level as US bands Chicago Transit Authority, The Flock and Blood Sweat & Tears with the charm and rhythms of Brazil Exotics. If you like the album by Liverpool this one would be for you. A real summer record, with great guitars, smashing vocals, Samba rhythm, horns, tons of effects, a real trip to Brazilian underground music.
