Positively gorgeous newly-unearthed vintage footage of Tropicalia warriors Os Mutantes performing two Gilberto Gil/Caetano Veloso tunes from their first classic LP on French TV in 1969. Serious chills up the spine when they kick into a very dreamy version of Panis et Circencis. Also, aside from being a fun rave-up jam, the lyrics to the song Bat Macumba have a visual shape if you happen to be reading along:
 
bat macumba ê ê, bat macumba oba
bat macumba ê ê, bat macumba oba
bat macumba ê ê, bat macumba oba
bat macumba ê ê, bat macumba o
bat macumba ê ê, bat macumba
