Entradas e Bandeiras was the follow-up to 1975's Fruto Proibido, arguably the biggest classic released by Rita Lee as a solo artist. Just as on that album, the music presented by Lee here consists of pure rock. The most successful hit of Entradas e Bandeiras was the dramatic and slightly Bowie-breathing "Coisas da Vida." That track, "Troca Toca," and "Corista de Rock" are all great rock songs by any standards, showing Rita Lee at her best. The other six tracks haven't quite the same panache as the three mentioned above, but they are still good, solid rock songs.

Published in 1976 "E = MC²" can be considered as a masterpiece in the world of cosmic synthedelica. "La femme qui venait d'ailleurs" (1977) also contains absolutely classic cosmic themes for long synthesized strings and astral-like electro moves, somtimes sustained by strangey exotic jazzy sounds.
