The singer-songwriter died Monday at the age of 75. She had been suffering from lung cancer.

She was a member of the band Os Mutantes, which was formed in 1966. The band was inspired by the music of the 1960s and 1970s. It was the first of a series of bands called "Os Mutantes" that spread across the world. The group's name is a play on the word "omnibus" which means "to do" or "to be"
