*P**odcast: OBJETO SEMI-IDENTIFICADO NO PAIS DO FUTURO. Tropicália and
post-tropicalismo in Brasil (1967-1976)*

*Curated by Raül G. Pratginestós*

Often reduced to a kind of "psychedelia Made in Brazil", Tropicália was
actually a reinvention of Brazilian popular music, which was able to
encompass elements from the local scene and beyond, modern styles and
traditional music, with all the contradictions that this implies. Curated
by Raül G. Pratginestós.

In the late 1960s, the movement known as Tropicália revolutionised Brazil's
cultural scene. In spite of being open to all kinds of artistic expressions
(theatre, film, plastic arts), Tropicália had its greatest impact in the
field of music, due to the personality of its leading players (some of the
most promising, edgy artists of the time) and also to the high quality of
its artistic output. Often reduced to a kind of "psychedelia Made in
Brazil", Tropicália was actually a reinvention of Brazilian popular music,
which was able to encompass elements from the local scene and beyond,
modern styles and traditional music, with all the contradictions that this
implies.

>From a record collector's perspective, "Objeto Semi-Identificado No Pais Do
Futuro. Tropicália and post-tropicalismo in Brasil (1967-1976)" is an
overview of the musical side of Tropicalismo that offers an introduction to
the movement and helps to explain some of its key aspects. With a special
emphasis on the more experimental, avant-garde works of the genre, the
selection also shows the ongoing presence and influence of Tropicalismo in
the history of Brazilian music that came directly after it.
