Along with Gilberto Gil, Caetano Velosoand Tom Z, they helped define the Tropicália movement. While still in high school, Rita Leeteamed with brothers Arnaldo Baptistaand Srgio DiasBaptista to form the band. A trio of brash musical experimentalists, the group fiddled with self-made instruments, distortion, feedback, musique concrète, and studio tricks of all kinds to create a lighthearted, playful version of extreme Brazilian music.
