ARNEWS IN “THE MISSING LINK”

Soon after Arnaldo left Os Mutantes in the mid 70's he released his first solo album "LOKI?".
Towards the end of that decade he gets into a heavier sound with his group Arnaldo & Patrulha do Espaço. About a decade after Patrulha's break up the fans are awarded with two vinyl releases: Elo Perdido (studio album) and Faremos Uma Noitada Excelente (live album) – more details at the site's DISCOGRAPHY. Nowadays, after Virgin Brasil tried without any success to re-release those on CD, the recordings are shelved at EMI's archives.

ARNEWS gives you the opportunity to glance at this material, the missing link to Arnaldo's discography. Check it out!
01- "Sr. Empresário" ; 02-" Cowboy (studio version)"; 03-" Sanguinho Novo";

Os Mutantes performance at Barbican Cultural Center in London was a great triumph! The brothers Sérgio Dias and Arnaldo Baptista, the drummer Ronaldo "Dinho" Leme along with Zélia Duncan on vocals and the other members of the group took the crowd by surprise with it's "good vibe" and humor as always.

The group O’Seis is Arnaldo's first recorded music collaboration. In 1966 with Raphael, Arnaldo, Sérgio, Rita, Mogguy and Pastura in the line up the group releases their only recording; a 45" single through Continental (a Brazilian label). With a cover inspired by the Fab 4 album With The Beatles the record featured Suicida (Raphael Vilardi / Roberto Loyola) and Apocalipse (Raphael Vilardi / Rita Lee) as a B side, it is now a true vinyl rarity. According to the legend only 500 copies were pressed and 300 of those were distributed in Porto Alegre, the capital of one of the southern states in Brazil. The following year O’Seis is reduced to a trio after Raphael, Mogly and Pastura left the band and Os Mutantes is born!
