Popis - TROPICALIA-OU PANIS / VARIOUS [VINYL]:
This album is the definitive statement of the Tropicalia
movement in Brazil. The album's collaborators, Gilberto Gil,
Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Nara Leao, Gal Costa and Os Mutantes,
mixed psychedelic rock with boleros, sambas, bossa nova and
jazz into a carnival-esque parade which first announced the new
global sound of Brazilian music. What is stunning is that this
anarchic and groundbreaking release was recorded at the height
of the Brazilian military dictatorship, during an era where
censorship, repression and the threat of violence was a
constant in all (musical and) daily life inside the country. Rolling Stone magazine in Brazil has voted this album no.2 in
the 100 Best Brazilian albums of all-time. This classic album
is Tropicalia's manifesto, a fantastical syncretic fusing of
psychedelic rock and pop, Brazilian traditional music and the
avant-garde.
