Tropicalia Begins Here! Here are the formidable albums that brought in a new era and subgenre called Tropicalia, a 1960s musical and political movement that sought to bring bossa nova into the future with the help of acid-fuelled psychedelia and political protest lyrics. All this through the hearts and guitars of a few left-wing student protesters/musicians based in Rio De Janeiro, including a young musician named Caetano Veloso. His musical protests soon got the attention of Brazil’s military dictator, causing him to be thrown into jail and eventually forcing him to leave the country for a brief period. But by that time the Tropicalia movement had already exploded and the groundwork for much of contemporary Brazilian music had been laid. The four albums collected here, Tropicalia, Irene, A Little More Blue and Araçá AzulA Little More Blue, straddle this tumultuous time in Veloso’s life, as they were recorded while he was in exile in England. Veloso fortunately soon returned home in triumph, going on to become one of the most significant singer/songwriters of the 20th century. Caetano Veloso Revolucao 1968-1972 Track Listing: |
