Famous by Caetano Veloso accompany the III Festival of Brazilian Popular Music of the TV Record, in 1967, with the song Joy, Joy , the band Beat Boys consisted of a mix of Brazilian and Argentine musicians based in São Paulo. With Tony Osanah on guitar and vocals, Cacho Valdez on guitar, Toyo on the organ, bass and Willie Verdager Marcelo Frias on drums, they scandalized purists (as well as apresentração Gilberto Gil and Os Mutantes in Sunday in the Park ) to the mix first rock and MPB at a popular music festival. After the festival they record the rare compact Point of Order with Gilberto Gil and make a contribution in some tracks on the disc # 3 Ronnie Von . banda The single disc only came out in May 1968, consisting of some classic psychedelia and Brazilian Opens, I am and Shelter Boxes Words from Heaven , and a famous version of Green Tambourine , the Lemon Pipers, dubbed My Tambourine . Unfortunately the disc is not spawned. Maybe the accent somewhat loaded, perhaps by comparison with Os Mutantes. For large Rogério Duprat, a news site courtesy to SenhorF , "the group also was good. But it was cold, it was not ... It was hot Argentine ... They played well but not had this inexplicable thing that Os Mutantes had. Such grandiosity ... naive, spontaneous, all that. " Comparisons aside, the disc is obligatory reference in the Brazilian psychedelia.


A group with a distinctly political edge, it wasn’t until Caetano Veloso (a political activist/musician and the Bob Dylan of Brazil) and Gilberto Gil discovered this outfit in a nightclub that their star briefly rose. Beat Boys joined Os Mutantes, The Beatniks and Os Baobas as radical groups on the often dangerous Brazilian music scene. They backed Veloso during his charged, on-stage 60s rendition of Algeria Algeria that almost caused a riot. Once Veloso and Gil were imprisoned and exiled, however, the lack of guidance proved disastrous for the Beat Boys, who withered on the vine. Recommended to both Tropicália fans and 60s obscurists,

"Along with Os Mutantes, the Beat Boys represented the most radical element in Brazilian rock: their name, clothes, hair -- and intense fuzz guitar raves -- were all fierce indicators of a rebel spirit, and this in a dangerous time for such self- expression. Here is the simple truth: The Beat Boys were at the very epicenter of the cultural revolution that convulsed Brazil during the late 1960s, that movement of rupture, that bringing together of electricity and avant-garde erudition that has come to be known as 'Tropicália.' They backed Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil for their defining moments as artists -- both live, and in the studio on tracks which became the opening Tropicalist salvo (a rare EP). So, what were this group of Argentine rock musicians doing in the forefront of all things outrageous in Brazil? More to the point, why is it that very few people, even among the Brazilian music cognoscenti, have ever heard of them? One explanation must be the fact that the band were essentially outsiders to the Brazilian music scene. As unlikely as it was for them to penetrate the inner circles of Brazilian elite musicians (it was unlikely), it was even more unlikely that they would remain there once their closest friends, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, were exiled from Brazil." "Caetano called the Beat Boys, an Argentinean group settled in São Paulo who had been inspired by the Beatles, to accompany him in 'Alegria, Alegria.' That, in fact marked the beginning of the Tropicalista thing.'' -- Gilberto Gil

'This outfit was based in Brazil, although all the members except Marcelo Frias were Argentinian. Their rare beat album has some psychedelic influences, but the band first came to public attention when they backed Caetano Veloso on his first big hit, Alegria, Alegria, in 1967.' - Dreams, Fantasies And Nightmares
