Editor's note

Tânia Alves, the Mutantes singer turned solo voice

From Brazilian psychedelic rock to her own intimate recordings, she's been a quiet presence for decades.

For a sense of her, try 'Sonhar Contigo' for its quiet drift, or 'Franqueza' for something a little more straightforward.

She was there in the late 1960s, adding her voice to Os Mutantes during their wildest psychedelic phase. After leaving, she built a solo catalog that feels more personal, like the gentle 'Sonhar Contigo' or the direct 'Franqueza'. Her work with people like Chico Buarque and Marisa Monte shows she's kept good company.

She joined Os Mutantes in São Paulo as a teenager, singing alongside Arnaldo Baptista and Sérgio Dias. By the early 1970s she was on her own, putting out albums like 'Pagã' in 1984 and 'Metamorfose' much later in 2009.
