Following the band's 2006 reunion at London's Barbican Theatre, Mutantes founder Sergio Dias commenced work on Mutantes' first studio album in 35 years. Dias collaborated with Tom Zé and Jorge Ben (who wrote the band's original hit "A Minha Menina").
The word "haih" means "crow" in the Shoshone language. "Amortecedor" means "shock absorber" in Portuguese.
