They played with many artists of this period, including Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, prior to their arrest and subsequent exile. During the 1960s, Os Mutantes was threatened by the military government of Brazil of that time.

Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil were arrested and left, not the Mutantes. It's a confusing sentence. As for being threatened, everyone was. The Mutantes are known for their cryptic lyrics against dictatorship and using foreign musical references as a way to protest against it.
