Tucassan

Tucassan formed in São Paulo in the late 1970s, a group of musicians working with progressive rock, jazz, and Brazilian rhythms. Their name comes from the Tupi language, which suggests some interest in cultural roots, but the details are thin.

In 1981 they put out an album called "Ócio Mental," with the title track becoming their most recognized song. The existing history mentions political lyrics that drew criticism from conservative listeners at the time, though the specifics aren't clear.

What remains is mostly the music itself, records like that 1981 album, and the song "Ócio Mental" that still surfaces in catalogs. The rest of the story seems to have faded, leaving behind those recordings and not much else.
