Tropicália, also known as Tropicalismo, is a Brazilian artistic movement that arose in the late 1960s. It encompassed art forms such as theatre,
poetry, and music. The movement was characterized by a combination of the popular and the avant-garde, as well as a fusion of traditional
Brazilian culture with foreign influences.
Tropicália: ou Panis et Circencis, released in 1968, is regarded as the musical manifesto of the Tropicália movement. Although it was a
collaborative project, the main creative forces behind the album were Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, with some contributions of
Os Mutantes, Gal Costa, Rogerios Dupratl, Torquato Neto and Tom Ze. The album experimented with unusual
time signatures and unorthodox song structures, and also mixed tradition with innovation. Politically, the album expressed criticism of the coup
d'état of 1964. « hide |
