Background

• as the vocalist of the band Os Mutantes, formed in 1966, which included members such as bassist and vocalist Arnaldo Baptista, with whom she also developed a romantic relationship. ---> as the vocalist of the Os Mutantes band formed in 1966, which included bassist and vocalist Arnaldo Baptista with whom she also developed a romantic relationship. Reason: The same but simpler?

• In 1972, her marriage to Baptista ended.[1] Tensions between the two manifested not only as a couple separating but also as collaborators with musical differences. Baptista and his brother, Sérgio Dias, believed the band should adopt a new aesthetic, moving toward progressive rock influenced by bands like Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. In Rita Lee: uma autobiografia [Rita Lee: an autobiography], Lee claims she was a victim of this ambition: "I arrive at rehearsal and find a tense/dense atmosphere. Finally, Arnaldo breaks the ice, takes the floor, and informs me—not in these exact words, but the meaning was the same—that at this funeral, the deceased was me. 'We've decided that from now on, you're out of Os Mutantes because we've chosen to follow a progressive-virtuoso direction, and you don't have the caliber as an instrumentalist.'" ----> In 1972, her marriage to Baptista ended, which together with creative differences manifested tension. Baptista and his brother, Sérgio Dias, believed the band should adopt a new aesthetic, moving toward progressive rock influenced by bands like Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. According to Rita Lee: uma autobiografia [Rita Lee: an autobiography], the band ultimately kicked her out with Baptista announcing their decision: "We've decided that from now on, you're out of Os Mutantes because we've chosen to follow a progressive-virtuoso direction, and you don't have the caliber as an instrumentalist."

• Her departure from the group has been the subject of conflicting accounts over the years, with some claiming she left voluntarily. However, in 2007, Baptista admitted to Whiplash.net: "I kicked Rita out of Os Mutantes. She was a banana!" In other interviews, Baptista explained the banana reference was tied to the band Yes: "Because I thought Rita was a bit 'banana', very 'for English eyes', so sometimes I prefer what's more Led Zeppelin and not Yes, like Rita was". I think it's an overkill explanation of her departure for an album article. Should we remove it or hide it into a note?
  • I trimmed the event in a single sentence.
• Over time, she started writing songs, but the right opportunity or idea to present them eluded her. This changed in May 1973 when she was invited to open for Os Mutantes at the Phono 73 festival, organized by Phonogram Records. The weight of the first sentence gives off a feeling that she waited for decades before the right opportunity but less than a year passed before the opportunity presented itself? Maybe something like this: Over time, she started writing songs and eventually was presented with an opportunity to open for Os Mutantes in May 1973 at the Phono 73 festival organized by Phonogram Records.

• Later, Lee confronted Midani in his office to reverse the decision, where she encountered singer Tim Maia, who was also dissatisfied because Phonogram had altered the cover of his upcoming album without his consent. After waiting to speak with Midani, they broke into his empty office and caused significant damage. Did she approach Midani and then waited for him with Maia?
• Before leaving, Lee recounts in her autobiography that Maia paused at the desk and said, "Nothing personal, okay, sweetheart?" Is it relevant? We already know he didn't do it for personal reason; he was at the label for not consulting with him
