| | The Land Beyond |
 | | Tropicalia was a spontaneous movement in culture and music, typical of the sixties. | | | The song itself is an oblique paean to the 'Tropicalia' movement in Brazilian popular music during the late 1960's; a feverish attempt to merge high and low brow taste, folk music and city sophistication with avant-garde string arrangements atop complex African rhythm patterns. | | | Tropicalia is pervaded by the thin flat guitar that laced even the most romantic ballad with harsh and astringent tones. |

| | Os Mutantes was one of Tropicalia's biggest bands. | | | There is this album called 'Technicolor', made in 1970 but not released until 2000. | | | Tropicalia incorporated music that was happening elsewhere in the world that had, until then, been ignored by Brazil: Rock, Soul, Pop, everything that was being invented elsewhere. |

| | In part, tropicalia was also a reaction to the perceived stodginess of bossa nova music, which had been the dominant pop style since the late 1950s. | | | Tropicalia was a late-'60s/early-'70s musical movement that combined North American rock, blues, jazz, folk and psychedelic music with Brazilian and other latin american styles. | | | Here is a Slipcue page which takes a stab at introducing some of this music. |

| | just for a day: birthing tropicalia |
| | The music that arose, Tropicalia, is bound together more by an ideology of social awareness and the drive to be musically creative than by any single set of musical characteristics. | | | Comparing the songs of tropicalia musicians, it can be discerned that the greatest common bond is in the lyrics, which are well thought-out, keyed to musical events of the accompaniment, poetic, elegant, and above all, socially aware. | | | In the late '60s, a new Brazilian popular music arose in direct reaction to social complacency stemming from the coup of 1964 and the musical clichés of pop music. |

| | Tropicalia was also a replacement to the more conservative form of bossa nova music, which had dominated pop style in Brazil since the late 50's. | | | Brazil's tropicalia was a late 60's, early 70's musical movement that combined north American rock, blues, jazz, folk and psychedelic music with Brazilian and other Latin American styles. | | | One day Emiliano comes to rehearsal and says, "what do you guys think of Bat Macumba?" I thought it was a good idea, the song being such a seminal one for Tropicalia, composed by Gil and Caetano and recorded by Os Mutantes, with nonsensical lyrics that symbolize a lot. |

| | Tropicalia was the music of national treason, an assimilation of American influences... | | | Tropicalia was announced at a festival in October 1967 by two now-famous songs: Veloso's Alegria, Alegria and Gil's Domingo No Parque. | | | I also learned that Os Mutantes were an integral part of Tropicalia, a brief explosion of musical, cultural and political activity in late-1960s Brazil that formed under the shadow of a dictatorship and changed the country for ever. |

| | Short-lived but intense, it thrived on a multicultural inclusiveness that stood in sharp opposition to the stunted, nationalistic version of culture endorsed by the state. | | | The songs on Virginia Rodrigues's Sol Negro are more traditional than anything tropicalia would have produced in its heyday. | | | But a couple of weeks ago two great Brazilian albums, Tom Ze's Com Defeito de Fabricacao (Fabrication Defect) (Luaka Bop) and the debut album by Virginia Rodrigues, Sol Negro (Hannibal), were released in the U.S., and though they couldn't be more different, both are undeniably products of tropicalia. |

| | Tropicalia added the culture and aesthetics of American and British rock to the rhythms and melodies of bossa nova. | | | Brazilian music, in the form of samba, bossa nova and tropicalia, has always drawn from and interpreted global sounds. | | | An artist so stylistically impure may seem a strange conduit for world music, but Brazilian music doesn’t hew to the Western ideal of world music as evolving, or remaining forever arrested, along pristine folkways isolated from outside influences. |

| | Brutality Garden: Tropicalia and the Emergence of a Brazilian Counterculture |
| | Dunn also deftly tells the story of tropicalia's explosive growth as a subversive, psychedelic musical genre, and the harsh political repression it was met with by the dictatorship which held power from 1964 to 1985. | | | Such as the 1971 painting "Primeria missa no Brasili" by Glauco Rodrigues, the song "Batmacumba" on "Tropicalia, ou panis et circensis" and on Os Mutandes first recording, Veloso's "Triste Bahia," a 1970's pop revival with roots as early as the 1930's. | | | In this matrix of poltical and nationalistic uncertainty, and through the use of pastiche, dissassociative imagery, irony, parody, and a concern with the everyday frustrations of Brazilians, they construct an insurgent music that gains a wide reach and audience, while mostly flying underneath the dictatorship's radar screen. |

| | The Dark Side of Tropicalia |
| | They mythified Tropicalia and themselves as popes of the new in a lot of cultural fields - movies, theater, television, journalism, radio, record companies - deciding what could have their blessings, and was worth to continue exist. | | | Worst than that, the movement that shocked Brazilian middle-class culture in late '60's is the ground zero of an entertainment dictatorship that blocks the most outstanding legacy the country gave the world: its own music, rich and colorful. | | | For length reasons, it's a two-part article: in this first, we'll see the Tropicalia agenda getting into action; in the second, how the ghost of a psychedelic year endorsed the standardization of Brazilian music that led to the cultural empoverishment the country went throughout the 1990's. |

| | Even "Tropicalia," (ironically, a bossa-nova not tropicalia tune) with its shift in genre and brass section, still flows within the context of the album because of the uniform substance of the melody and lyrics and their predominance in the foreground over the production. | | | TROPICALIA is the only one that resembles ODELAY his prior album. | | | But as for the rest of the album, just as much praise should be given, if not more. |

| | In 1967, singer/composers Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso introduce a new sound in Brazilian music, inspired as much by Jimi Hendrix and Chuck Berry as by mellow bossa nova. | | | Along with rock musicians Os Mutantes and Tom Ze, they produce a startling collective record, Tropícalía ou Panís et Círcensís (Tropicalia or Bread and Circuses), that mingles traditional Brazilian rhythms with electric guitars and psychedelic flourishes. | | | Their often humorous lyrics poke fun at Brazil's consumer society and other aspects of the contemporary culture. |

| | [ international (latin american psych/tropicalia) ] titles at Aquarius Records |
| | Yep, just like their self-titled debut, this one's got doses of both the heavy rockers and the gentler, poppier stuff, but seems more '70s than their first album, which had more of a '60s vibe. | | | While we may all be relatively familiar with the giants of the Tropicalia scene -- Os Mutantes (Windy's favorite band ever), Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso, etc -- this comp features far more obscure groups whose albums are sought-after treasures in the underground psych LP collecting community (you know who you are!). | | | Born of his compulsive love for Tropicalia, that distinctly Brazilian take on '60s psychedelia that Aquarius also loves, Mac of Superchunk has recorded 5 of his most favorite pieces made famous by Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, and Os Mutantes. |

| | Tropicalismo had as a base the attempt to reveal the contradictions of the Brazilian reality and to translate the fragmentary complexity of Brazilian culture by bringing together disparate musical genres from samba to rock and roll. | | | *** Tropicália, written and performed by Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil on their album Tropicália, ou Panis et Circensis (Tropicalia, or Bread and Circuses), was the song that started what would come to be known as the Tropicalismo movement of 1967-8. | | | Enamored with their celebrations and troubled by their separation, my work seeks to address the dynamics of contradiction in a culture of overwhelming passion, pleasure, and pain. |

| | One of those artists, Helio Oiticica, called his installation "Tropicalia" -- a word that, the following year, became the title of one of the most famous Brazilian pop albums featuring Caetano Veloso and others. | | | By the end of 1968, Tropicalia expanded into a loosely organized cultural phenomenon whose major theme was Brazil's confident eclecticism, which was producing a distinctive hybrid style in music, visual art, literature, theater, film, architecture, fashion, food and advertising. | | | Before Tropicalia grew into one of the most significant artistic and cultural movements in the history of Brazil, it was a moment. |

| | Rather, Dunn's history is vaguely top-down, told through the lens of significant concerts, television specials and record releases. | | | Rather than reject her, Dunn explains that Veloso wrote her name into his song "Tropicalia" to "recover" and "dislocate" her, reading her tragic break from the Brazilian canon as an allegory of Brazilian culture and its reception abroad. | | | This is the fascinating theme of Christopher Dunn's Brutality Garden, a thorough and impressive look at Brazil's all-too-brief Tropicalia movement that is also one of the best books on music to come out in years. |

| | Titled "Tropicalia," Giersbach's stunningly innovative work draws on a welter of cultural references- among them conceptual art, installation art, architecture, photography and computer graphics-to articulate her unique vision of an amplified, up-to-date, hybrid painting practice. | | | Recreating in "Tropicalia" a nearly perfect visual analogue to the cultural disorientation experienced on encountering the weird simulacra of an Indian theme park, Cadence Giersbach's warping, perspective shifting, vibrantly colored paintings posit a final, even larger-scaled pictorial illusion: an image of the ongoing, globalizing superimposition of one type of culture and cultural display onto another. | | | Taking as her starting point a set of snap shots the artist took of an empty theme park outside of Madras, India, Giersbach recreates the falsified nature of this Western transplant to the East inside the precincts of an equally rarefied cultural space: the contemporary art gallery. |
