	Tropicalismo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Tropicalismo" or "Tropicália" is associated almost exclusively with the movement's musical expression, both in Brazil and internationally; a form of Brazilian music that arose in the late 1960s from a melange of bossa nova, rock and roll, Bahia folk music, african music and portuguese fado.
		It is said by some that Tropicalismo is somehow associated to poesia concreta, a genre of brazilian avant garde poetry embodied in the works of Augusto de Campos, Haroldo de Campos and Décio Pignatari, among a few others.
		Tropicalismo, also known as Tropicália, is a Brazilian art movement that arose in the late 1960s and encompassed theatre, poetry and music, among other forms.

	Veloso pens memoir of revolution: 12/8/02
		Tropicalismo as a formal movement died with the pair's exile.
		The book focuses on the Tropicalismo movement of the mid to late 1960s, a movement that was unusual for its ability to threaten the traditional left, the right and the nationalist underpinnings of Brazilian popular music.
		The result was the musical style "Tropicalia," which grew into a rebellious artistic movement called "Tropicalismo" -- a brief and powerful movement that was dangerous enough to the right-wing military regime that governed Brazil to land Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil in prison and eventual exile.

		Tropicalismo took up Andrade's ideas, celebrating a uniquely Brazilian culture that had relatively recently defined itself out of a colonial past, and at the same time devouring, with attitude, what the West had to offer.
		Tropicália, or Tropicalismo, encompassed music, art, writing, theatre and film, but it was driven by music, and in particular the music of Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil.
		Brazil's latest underground musical movement is a world away from the literate, politicized, sunlit stylings of Tropicalismo.

	Socialist Review
		Tropicalismo aimed at a much deeper rebellion, wide open to the modern world but also trying to subvert it.
		Tropicalismo became an anti-nationalist scandal as well as a provocation to fans of traditional Brazilian popular music.
		Tropicalismo still inspires, but it has also become a part of the official musical heritage of Brazil.

		This paper will survey the heritage of tropicalismo, as both cultural vanguard and post-utopian iconoclasm, to form a framework for understanding what may be its closest contemporary heir: Brazilian rap, which has made its mark by selling large numbers of discs using marginal publicity and consumption circuits.
		Arising at a time of great political conflict, tropicalismo sidestepped the manicheism of Brazilian protest music of the time, with its return to rural roots and discourse of denouncement of political and economic opression.
		Its most important moment of recent decades was tropicalismo, a pop music movement marked by eclecticism and iconoclasm.

	Onine NewsHour: Caetano Veloso -- Tropicalia
		The rise of the musical style known as Tropicalismo began in the early 1960s as young Brazilian artists and musicians, tired of the classic style of bossa nova and weary of the increasingly restrictive tenor of the government, began experimenting with new sounds that reflected the cultural changes they saw everywhere around them.
		The reign of Tropicalismo as a formal movement was brief, although its influences are still felt nearly 40 years later.
		When Tropicalismo was emerging, Brazil already had its own rock style known as Jovem Guarda (Young Guard) which was popular with young urbanites who were attracted to the consumerism of American youth culture.

	Caetano Veloso: Tropical Truth
		Tropicalismo aimed to "cannibalize" the beauty and richness of Brazil's folk songs while assimilating the most original elements of Anglo-American pop, creating a music that has earned fans as diverse as Beck and David Byrne.
		Tropicalismo also celebrated personal freedom in politics, music, and lifestyle.
		As a young man, Caetano (as fans of all ages call him) rebelled against the influx of commercial, American-im ported rock, choosing instead to follow in the path of bossa nova's master, Jo5o Gilberto, in devising an alternative.

		Tropicalismo was different from the already famous Bossa Nova and influenced the Música Popular Brasileira, the plastic arts (Hélio Oiticida), theatre (Celso Corrêa) and film (Glauber Rocha).
		Tropicalismo was largely an apolitical middle class phenomenon.
		Caetano Veloso's name is closely tied to the notion of Tropicalismo, the Brazilian musical movement of the 1960s which he created together with Gilberto Gil at the beginning of the military dictatorship.

		That movement, of course, would be Tropicalismo, the anarchistic, all-embracing philosophy that transformed Brazilian society during the late 1960's by challenging and mocking cultural and political dogmas.
		To the shock of traditionalists, nothing seemed excluded from what a song at the time called the "general jelly" of Tropicalismo: electric instruments, political egalitarianism, foreign influences, sexual freedom, the celebration of home-grown musical styles considered declassÃ©, mind-bending drugs and avant-garde poetry.
		Veloso said, "what we did then has been absorbed into the bloodstream of Brazilian cultural life" so fully that Tropicalismo is taken for granted.

		Tropicalismo, on the other side of the controversy, can be seen as a response in a different key to the same situation and to protest music's questions and answers.
		Accepting the label of Tropicalismo, an ad hoc grouping of like-minded musicians recorded the LP 'Panis et Circensis' in 1968 as a kind of cultural manifesto.
		Electric guitars, identified with foreign and domestic rock'n'roll, were attacked as emblematic of the foreign commercial and political forces to be resisted.

		Though tropicalismo was declared dead as a movement by 1970, its spirit is informing and inspiring a new generation of cultural cannibals, whose ravenous appetite for rock, hip-hop, jungle, funk, reggae, and ska are adding even greater confusion to the syncretic makeup of musica popular brasileira (MPB).
		And when she tosses in bits and pieces from Kris Kristofferson's "Me and Bobby McGee" and Lenny Kravitz's "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over," you realize that Monte is not just hearing the great confusion but affirming it and transcending it with every song she chooses to sing.
		Unfortunately, one of the most innovative and experimental voices of this Brazilian new wave, 30-year-old Chico Science, died in a car accident in Pernambuco two weeks ago.

		If Tropicalismo was truly important in the history of Brazilian music and culture, and not just a mouse that roared, then Caetano's Verdade Tropical (Truly Tropical) will be a book of consequence and provoke debate for its polemic content.
		Tropicalismo, still germinating seeds after thirty years, remains a source of inspiration.
		In the evolutionary chain of musical protest movements, Tropicalismo was the next major development after bossa nova.

	Caetano Veloso's 'foreign sound.'
		Tropicalismo's iconoclasm angered both the right and left; Brazil's then-military dictatorship was threatened enough to arrest Veloso and send him into exile in London for two years.
		Veloso soon, though, was at the vanguard of tropicalismo, a loose-knit cabal of musical omnivores who feasted on everything from American psychedelia to hick music from the Brazil's hard-scrabble hinterlands.
		All this is on top of last year's efforts, which included a performance of a song from "Frida" on the Academy Awards show, releasing a "Best of" album and publishing an English version of "Tropical Truth," his memoir of Brazil's tropicalismo movement of the 1970s.

		This was partly due to her distancing herself from her brother and his involvement in the radical tropicalismo movement of the late '60s.
		Arty and eclectic, tropicalismo retained a bossa nova influence, adding bits and pieces of folk-rock and art-rock to a stew of loud electric guitars, poetic spoken-word sections, and jazz-like dissonance.
		Veloso continued to record abroad and write songs for other tropicalismo stars, but it was not until 1972 that he was allowed to return to Brazil.

		The two musicians returned to Brazil in 1972 and found that Tropicalismo had remained intact and their audience had continued to grow.
		Now universally credited with redefining what is known as Brazilian music, Tropicalismo laid the groundwork for a renaissance of Brazilian popular music both at home and abroad.
		Inspired at first by the bossa nova of Joao Gilberto, he rapidly began to develop his own distinctive style, absorbing musical and aesthetic ideas from sources as diverse as The Beatles, concrete poetry, the French Dadaists and the Brazilian modernist poets of the 1920s.

		But let’s begin in 1968, when the Brazilian avant-garde pop stars who led tropicalismo, probably the most intellectually self-conscious movement in pop music history, went looking for yet another cultural hero to define themselves with, and settled on Oswald de Andrade.
		It was a social infection of troubling consequences for youth.
		Then again, the story could as easily begin in 1928, when the avant-garde poet Oswald de Andrade went looking for an ideal model of Brazilian cultural practices for yet another of his manifestos, and settled on the anonymous consumers of Bishop Sardinha.

	Caetano Veloso: Livro ---Ink Blot Magazine
		He gained fame in the early '60s as a songwriter, but he gained international fame a few years later by helping to invent Tropicalismo, a revolutionary Brazilian style which mixed a little of everything together: African rhythms, Brazilian bossa nova and samba, American rock 'n' roll, and European melodies.
		He is a folk hero in Brazil for his refusal to back down against the repressive Brazilian government in the 1960s and '70s; the Tropicalistas went on live TV wearing plastic clothes and lambasted the racist bourgeoisie as well as leftist intellectuals.
		If you haven't heard of him, you probably live in the United States of America, because only in the land of Billy Joel would we fail to embrace someone who so clearly represents everything a musician is supposed to be.

		"Tropicalismo as a movement ends after the issuance of AI-5, a stringent law of censorship imposed by the military dictatorship in December of 1968 and the imprisonment of Caetano and Gil and their subsequent exile in England.
		It is probable that none of the people involved in the Tropicalismo movement had ever imagined the controversy they stirred up, nor that it would divide the population the way it did.
		The old-fashioned or folksy images annoyed me—unlike tropicália, which was a new word, tropicalismo sounded worn out to me. I had already heard it with a different meaning, perhaps connected to the Pernambucan sociologist Gilberto Freyre (which later proved to be the case).

		Master gardener Kevin Doyle explains how to achieve "tropicalismo" in non-tropical regions, as he shows some of the best plants to select for the project:
		Contrary to what some northern residents may believe, lush, tropical gardens aren't restricted to warmer climates; with a little planning and careful plant selection, a tropical paradise can be a reality in any climate zone.
		Mixing true tropical varieties with native plants is the best way to obtain a natural-looking tropical garden in a colder region.

	Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2002066147
		Tropicalismo would aim to “cannibalize” the extraordinary beauty and richness of Brazil& musical past but at the same time to assimilate eclectically the most original elements of Anglo-American pop, an influence many rejected as yet another form of imperialism corrupting Brazil& “authentic” character.
		The birth of tropicalismo coincided with the wave of counterculture sweeping Western nations, but in Brazil that wave would hit the breakwaters of a brutal military junta.
		While supporting resistance to right-wing oppression (and the terrible social inequities it perpetuated) the tropicalistas nevertheless rejected the automatic connection to the Left and its unreflective nationalism, then the politics de rigueur of the artistic class.
