Os Incríveis began their journey as The Clevers in 1963, initially focusing on instrumental surf rock before evolving into one of Brazil's most formidable rock outfits. While they are often grouped with the Jovem Guarda movement led by Roberto Carlos, they distinguished themselves through superior musicianship and a harder-edged sound influenced by Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones.
Their career arc saw them transition from clean-cut instrumentalists to a psychedelic-leaning rock band that embraced the cultural shifts of the late 1960s. Critically, they are respected for bridging the gap between the commercial 'iê-iê-iê' pop and the more experimental Tropicália movement, though they remained more aligned with the rock and roll tradition. Their influence persists in the Brazilian garage rock revival scene, where their fuzz-tone guitar techniques and tight vocal arrangements are frequently cited as a blueprint for the era's sound. They remain a staple for collectors of global 60s rock due to their high production standards and unique blend of international rock trends with a distinct São Paulo energy.
