A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado is the third album by the Brazilian rock band Os Mutantes. The album was originally released in 1970 (see 1970 in music) and reissued in 1999 on Omplatten Records and again in 2006 by Omplatten's (and Polydor's) parent company, Universal Records. The title in English means: The Divine Comedy or I Am a Bit Disconnected. "I am a bit disconnected" in this sense means "I feel a little spaced out." The second track features the band imitating California accents. The album as a whole is characterized by a mix of psychedelic and religious imagery.

It's also the first album by the band to break away from the Tropicália aesthetic, and move towards more of a pure rock sound. Except for a tongue-in-cheek version of the ballad "Chão de Estrelas", the record shows little Brazilian music influence. This shift in direction is speculated to be because their helpers and influences, Tropicalismo stars Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil were exiled by the Brazilian military dictatorship.

The album cover reflects a similar illustration by Gustav Doré from Dante's Divine Comedy.

It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil at #22 in the list of 100 best Brazilian albums in history.[2] The magazine also elected the title song "Ando Meio Desligado" as the 50th greatest Brazilian song.[3]

[es] A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado

A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado es el tercer álbum de estudio de la banda brasileña Os Mutantes. Lanzado al mercado tras convertirse en exitosos y controversiales artistas a gran escala dentro de Brasil y luego de largos viajes por parte de los integrantes de la banda al exterior. Con Gilberto Gil y Caetano Veloso exiliados en Londres, los Mutantes tendrían que enfrentar duras críticas por parte de los artistas brasileños más puristas por el uso de instrumentos eléctricos, críticas que la banda simplemente desoyó. Este disco supone una evolución musical importante dentro del estilo del grupo a nivel conceptual tanto como a nivel técnico, además de la inclusión de Arnolpho Lima Jr., también conocido como Liminha, en el bajo.

Я немного отключён) в этом смысле означает «I feel a little spaced out» (рус. Я чувствую себя немного отстранённым). Во втором треке группа имитирует калифорнийские акценты. В целом альбом характеризуется смесью психоделических и религиозных образов.
