Revolucao - 1968-1972

VINYL FORMAT. The albums that brought in a new era called Tropicalia, a 1960s musical and political movement that sought to bring bossa nova into the future with the help of acid-fueled psychedelia and political protest lyrics - all this through the hearts and guitars of a few left-wing student protesters/musicians based in Rio De Janeiro, including a young musician named Caetano Veloso. His musical protests soon got the attention of Brazils military dictator, causing him to be thrown into jail and eventually forcing him to leave the country for a brief period, but by that time the Tropicalia movement had already exploded and the groundwork for much of contemporary Brazilian music had already been laid. The four albums collected here: Tropicalia, Irene, A Little More Blue and Araca Azul straddle this tumultuous time in Caetano's life, with A Little More Blue being recorded while he was in exile in England. Caetano fortunately soon returned home in triumph, going on to become one of the most significant singer/songwriters of the 20th century.
