A Guide to Tropicália in 20 Albums

[@theletterbleeds]

Finally they do a decent article. There are great music out there like Mande music, Entechna, Andean Folk, Son, Polish folk, Nubian music etc. They should keep doing these articles focused on music that very few people listens, instead of always focusing on American-centric music.

I'm Brazilian and I'm very proud of this video, thank you for spreading our culture out there :D

Hahahaha percebi essa tbm

[@matheuspojo]

Tom Zé is a fucking genius, but a crazy kind of genius. People should listen to "Todos os Olhos" and to "Estudando o Samba". Both are masterpieces from his experimental mind. He's a sage with the soul of a child.

[@TheDmolitionMan]

his overtly experimental recent album "Danç-êh-sá" is a rec of mine too. Crazy avant-garde hell.

[@Zureta5]

Till Caetano's "Transa"?

[@novembrine29]

It'd be nice if they provided a Spotify playlist or something in the video description.

[@juliocesarpereira4325]

Very good video. I didn't know about 'Os Brazões'. I would also include Caetano Veloso's 'Araçá Azul', released in 1972, a late Tropicalia album with great songs as 'Épico' with arrangement by Rogerio Duprat.

[@MrTangent]

Would've been better if 1. they had longer audio samples to hear and 2. included a Spotify playlist with said tracks/artists in description. Otherwise, great stuff.

[@mintyulip]

this is the best video you guys have done, i just wish you would've mentioned milton nascimento even though he was more in the MPB scene

[@andrepostal]

Caetano Veloso discography man, one of the bests of the world. I'm suspect. But

[@caputcultusd7558]

I heckin love the Tropicália movement, Tropicália ou Panis et Circenses is a masterpiece of an album and everyone should listen to it at least once.

Douglas Gomes ,também tô surpreendido haha ver a galera de outros países elogiando as musicas de cultura BRASILEIRA

[@douglasgomes4498]

A Tropicália junto com a bossa nova são os gêneros (movimentos) mais conhecidos na gringa, fico orgulhoso da nossa riqueza musical

[@rafarbone]

Douglas Gomes,Verdade,cultura não falta por aqui

[@Zureta5]

@@douglasgomes4498 Sabes que Bossa é variante de música gringa, não? Teu país criou Maxixe, Baião, Samba, Maracatu, Chorinho, Frevo, Xaxado e Embolada. Ou seja, melhor som do mundo, graças ao som africano, do ragtime americano ao maxixe brasileiro, onde tudo começou.

[@andreideferrer]

Fuck yeah! Tropicalia rules

[@jcaetanoleite]

In the 60's, just before the coup, Brazil wasn't experiencing an ecnomic boom, there was high inflation and low growth. Brazil experienced high economic growth in the late 50's, and early 70's, however both were unsustainable debt wise.

Nice list! Just to be strict tho: Novos Baianos are NOT tropicalistas, not AC&J either (although Lanny Gordin and Duprat worked on that album) Notable absentees are Jards Macalé and Nara Leão, both involved with the S/T album

[@bimbowithadegree420]

Wasnt Nara Bossa Nova though? Definitely not Tropicalia

[@thatfisherr]

Great video but i just want to point out that tropicalia as a movement came to a close in '69

[@lenini056]

Yes it did but the albums post tropicalism are just as important as they kept the movement alive in spirit.

These guides should give a little more space to the music, so we can hear a bit more of what we are finding out about.

[@JoaoPedro-eh4wr]

"Acabou Chorare" has nothing to do with American folk but with samba and bossa nova dude

[@TheJonh000]

Moraes Moreira mesmo disse que tem bastante influência de Jimi Hendrix e Janis Joplin, que, por sua vez, são influenciados pela música folk americana. Tem um pouquinho algo a ver, mas meio indiretamente.

[@Alberto-ny7kf]

@@TheJonh000 mas o jimi e a janis são bem rock, a influência do folk americano é muuuuuuito pequena.

[@lenini056]

Bob Dylan? He's folk and likely influenced Novos Bainos

Great for reccomendations but not very accurate, Tropicália didn't last that long. Mutantes was probably the last album from the movemnt featured on this list.

you say it "os mootuncheese" the double O as in "book" and the un as in "up"

[@Andre.felipe84]

No. It's pronounced as Rita Lee pronounces in this video at 1:12: "Os Mootunts" See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqmqdYWAnLR4kKM

[@daveteves]

I've always pronounced Caetano Veloso's name as "Seytano Veloso" and Os Mutantes' as "Os Mutan-tes'

Jorge Ben's O Bidú - Silêncio no Brooklyn is a important album ta what Tropicalismo would be.

The US was upset Brazilian politics weren't going their way so they *RIGGED OUR POLITICAL PROCESS* and prompted a coup. who knows, maybe there'll be an american Tropicalia. so glad you guys can appreciate the music and the amusing, casual history.
