Led by the husband-and-wife team of Fernanda Takai and John Ulhoa, Pato Fu brought a whole new level of sonic creativity to the Brazilian music scene upon their formation in 1992. Like their '60s predecessors Os Mutantes, the band borrows from a patchwork of influences for a sound that's as fizzy and fun-loving as it is artistic. Like Devo and Super Furry Animals, they'll teach you that it's okay to be silly and sophisticated at the same time. In fact, it's essential.
