60s/a

A Meta was a 60s rock band that formed in London in 1966. The group included Anya Petrova on vocals, Ethan Thorne on guitar, Dylan Carter on bass, and Simon Blackwood on drums. They released two albums: their self-titled debut in 1968 and 'The Shadow's Dance' in 1969.

Their music mixed psychedelic rock with folk elements, and Petrova's lyrics often dealt with subjects that made some listeners uncomfortable. Songs like 'Loucura Insana' and 'Paradoxo' reflected this approach. The band faced some censorship during their active years, though the specific details have become hazy over time.

A Meta broke up in 1971. Their relatively brief career left behind a small but distinctive catalog that still finds listeners today, particularly tracks like 'Cléo' and 'Rainha Do Castelo De Cartas'.
