Tropicália
Went through a phase of listening to a lot of this kind of music a few years ago. Heard Caetano Veloso in a cafe earlier and it reminded me how much i enjoyed his stuff and Os Mutantes, Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil. Any fans here? Quote:
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.
Probably the most famous track from this bunch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEpSFOibJho

Dont know much about this genre, but I assume that Kaoma Lambada is of this genre.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYRhW-xLFPY I like this song, it reminds me of growing up, I remember it being played alot when I was a kid. It makes me want to go on holiday and dance on the beach with a greek man... but I wouldnt fall for him and marry him, I would just take it for what it is, a holiday romance. |

The Tropicalia stuff I've heard is just a bit too "we are weird" for me. I love this from Gilbert Gil, though: https://youtu.be/XgQLOSpG4EM |
