<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
