Tutti Frutti emerged as a Brazilian rock band in the early 1970s, originating from São Paulo's Pompeia district. Between 1973 and 1978, with Luís Sérgio Carlini as lead guitarist, the group gained prominence by supporting Rita Lee following her exit from Os Mutantes. Their partnership yielded numerous nationwide hits such as "Agora só Falta Você," "Esse Tal de Roque Enrow," "Ovelha Negra," "Corista de Rock," "Miss Brasil 2000," and "Jardins da Babilônia," solidifying Tutti Frutti's status in Brazil's 1970s rock scene. After their separation from Lee in 1978, the band persisted with vocalist Simbas until their dissolution in 1981. Carlini, who retains ownership of the Tutti Frutti name, has since spearheaded various reunions, though these efforts have achieved limited commercial impact.

Following the band's breakup in 1981, some former members established Rádio Táxi, which enjoyed multiple hit singles during the early to mid-1980s.
