	Tropicalia Music - Slipcue.Com Brazilian Music Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Closely identified with youth and counterculture, tropicalia was the most visible part of an artistic movement that sought to redefine Brazilian culture, and actively helped subvert the military dictatorship which had taken over the country in 1964.
		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.
		Both tropicalia and bossa nova have come to be referred to as part of MPB, or "Musica Popular Brasileira," modern Brazilian pop, though the term originally applied only to tropicalia.

		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 was a spontaneous movement in culture and music, typical of the sixties.
		Tropicalia is pervaded by the thin flat guitar that laced even the most romantic ballad with harsh and astringent tones.

	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.
		Soon after Veloso and his group (which would soon constitute the Tropicalia movement) were news, dividing opinions concerning the group's interest in fusing Brazilian music with international pop culture, lysergic psychedelia, generalized irreverence, and whatever crossed their minds.

		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.
		Tropicalia is loud, it's noisy, it's confusing, it's extremely creative and still it's very musical.
		Caetano Veloso was one of the greatest arrangers, the brains behind Tropicalia.

		Tropicalia has been celebrating its anniversary this year, and most of the attention has less to do with nostalgia than with recognition of the movement's prescience: the influence of its graceful, colorful, and inventive fusions can be seen in the critically adored machinations of Beck, Stereolab, and Tortoise.
		A best-of-Os Mutantes collection is due in January on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label, and last week at the Palmer House academics gathered for "Thirty Years of Tropicalia: A Critical Commemoration," a conference exploring the history of the movement and its contemporary ramifications.
		But the ease with which she mixes regional styles in a haunting contralto that sounds almost European is part of the movement's legacy.

		In 1998, Beck released Mutations (album), the title of which is a tribute to Tropicalismo pioneers Os Mutantes.
		Its hit single, "Tropicalia", went as high as #21 on the Billboard Modern Rock singles chart.
		In 2002 Caetano Veloso published an account of the Tropicalia movement, "Tropical Truth: A Story of Music and Revolution in Brazil." The 1999 compilation "Tropicália Essentials," featuring songs by Gil, Veloso, Gal Costa, Tom Zé and Os Mutantes, is an excellent introduction to the style.

		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.
		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.
		The Tropicalia movement of the 60s was an affirmation of that notion and it brought back the ideas of the Week of Modern Art of 1922.

	The lasting impression of Tropicalia movement
		Before Tropicalia grew into one of the most significant artistic and cultural movements in the history of Brazil, it was a moment.
		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.
		This fascinating chapter of Brazilian history is the focus of what promises to be one of the highlights of the Chicago art season: "Tropicalia: A Revolution in Brazilian Culture," a wide-ranging exhibit that runs Oct. 22-Jan. 8 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, after which it will tour to London; Lisbon, Portugal, and New York.

	The Dark Side of Tropicalia
		Tropicalia brings us paradisiacal images of a Latin Swinging London, a dystopian and exotic Haight-Ashbury, brought to public thankfully by gold-digging musical tastes from cool '90's cats such as Beck, the Beastie Boys and Stereolab.
		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.
		When the world rediscovered Tropicalia in the mid-'90's, Brazil was forced to face a harsh situation: to acknowledge the greatness of a generation that forced its country to cultural poverty through conspiration or to turn its back as the world finally realized one part of the history.

		Tropicalia added the culture and aesthetics of American and British rock to the rhythms and melodies of bossa nova.
		Lindsay watched the rise of tropicalia from Permambuco, the Brazilian state north of Bahia, where his parents were Presbyterian missionaries from 1956 to 1970.
		Central to bossa nova and tropicalia is the undulating groove, which DJ and dance culture have become increasingly fascinated by — in a sense, they’re simply continuing the ongoing project of bossa nova and tropicalia to reinvent themselves by appropriating styles, aesthetics and techniques from outside.

		Veloso gave Tropicalia its intellectual impetus by using the concept of cultural cannibalism originated by 1920s philosopher Oswaldo De Andrade: any aspect of culture, high or low, can be devoured, digested and spat out to create new forms of art.
		Tropicalia was announced at a festival in October 1967 by two now-famous songs: Veloso's Alegria, Alegria and Gil's Domingo No Parque.

	Brutality Garden: Tropicalia and the Emergence of a Brazilian Counterculture
		"Brutality Garden: Tropicalia and the Emergence of a Brazilian Counterculture" begins by covering the history of Brazilian intellectual modernism (modernismo), focusing on the contributions of Oswald de Andrade and Mario de Andrade, as well as the early development of a progressive political impulse in early to mid 20th century Brazil.
		Yet Tropicalia's moment in the sun is not only threaded in the past of Brazilian historical discourse on modernity, but serves to feed a growing countercultural movement in Brazilian culture throughout the late 1960s and 1970's.
		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.

		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.
		Blurring the boundaries between the local and the global, the natural and the artificial, the real and the imaginary, Cadence Giersbach resolves in her graphically powerful, seductively rich paintings to scramble standard notions of pictorial space and location.
		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.

	Tropicalismo : Tropicalia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Tropicalismo, otherwise known as Tropicalia, is a form of Brazilian music that arose in the late 1960s out of bossa nova and rock and roll influences.
		As a reaction against the perceived clichés of pop music, tropicalismo was driven by socially aware lyrics and political activism following the coup of 1964, much like its contemporary Brazilian film movement, Cinema Novo[?].
		It uses material from the wikipedia article Tropicalismo : Tropicalia.

		Neither unconditionally devoted nor coldly analytical, the genius of Dunn's text is that it is essentially a history of Brazil's relationship with globalization as seen through this tiny period of playful rebellion that spanned from 1967-68.
		That practically the entire rise-and-fall of Tropicalia's main figures-Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil-is summarized in one chapter speaks to how careful Dunn is in setting up Tropicalia as part of a richer, broader heritage of Brazilian nation-building and anti-imperialist protest.
		Throughout the two "real" years of Tropicalia (Dunn marks the tenure's end as December 27, 1968, the day Veloso and Gil were arrested and eventually exiled), one sees all these frozen moments where it really seemed like things could have changed for the better.

		The English translations of Gil and Veloso's lyrics provide excellent insight into their political views, albeit tempered with a slightly surrealistic hue.^The music on TROPICALIA 2 features sparser arrangements than that of later Gil albums such as QUANTA.
		On "Dada," Veloso and Gil sing together accompanied only by cello, acoustic guitars, bass and percussion; the result is haunting and gorgeous.
		While TROPICALIA 2 doesn't incorporate many of the fuzzed-out acid-rock touches of Gil and Veloso's work from the late '60s, it does show that these two giants of Brazilian music are still as inventive, vibrant, and radical as they ever were.

		Two elements emerge early: the growth of a orthodox socialism in the arts and music, and a concern over the authenticity of Brasilian cultural production both for internal consumption and external export.
		The more orthodox leftists, of course, criticize Tropicalia for not directly inciting the masses to act, and instead promoting escapism.
		It is available on Amazon.com lt;br /gt; lt;br /gt;After reading the book, I would also suggest "Tropicalia, ou panis et circensis" -- the original release of which appears to have been a crystalizing moment in the Tropicalia movement.

		With only Buckleys Tim and Jeff to match their playful twisting serenity, Caetono (father of Tropicalia who revolutionized samba) and Moreno (his son, taking tiny liberties on similar themes) are idealized portraits of the romantic-yet-realist personal and musical rebellion within Brazillian culture and politics.
		The youthful vigor of Caetono Veloso is matched only by his dedication to political outreach.
