OS PILANTROCRATAS - "Pilantrocracia" (1969)

"Pilantragem" was a musical movement in late 60s Brazil that mixed every kind of influence imagible - from British pop to Tin Pan Alley and from Carmen Miranda to James Brown. The name "pilantragem" literally means "piracy" and the cover of this Lp accurately reflects the pop art sensibilities of the time.
