Have been listening to quite a lot of this stuff lately. An avant-gardist Brazillian thing from the sixties that fuses jazz, poetry, funk and rock, with a definite political edge. Key artists are Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Os Mutantes. Really wonderful stuff. I was just wondering if anyone else likes it and/or knows anything more about it.
edit: just found a really nice website dedicated to it: http://www2.uol.com.br/tropicalia/ edit2: just looked through and depite having an English/Brazillian option 90% of it is in Portugese. |

yeah! i have some caetano veloso and gilberto gil LPs and 45s as well as an awesome tropicalia compilation put out by soul jazz records.
you should check out the "+2" series. it features the son of caetano and it feels almost like an extention of tropicalia.

Yes, me likey. The nauseous Beck once tried to jump on this bandwagon with a song called (what else?) "Tropicalia".

LOL. Yeah, I heard about that. Needless to say I've tried to avoid it like the proverbial.

A lot of this stuff has been reissued which is nice. The first couple of Gal Costa lps are essential I think. She went a bit patchy after that but there's an lp with a lady in bikini showing major camel toe on the front which has one killer track on if I remember correctly.

I think it's her second and third albums that I am thinking of and not the first and second. I don't think I've heard the first. The other one I mentioned was India.
