So, first of all, GREAT video! It is really interesting to see how someone outside of Brazil sees Tropicalia! A few adendums: 1. Veloso and Helio Oiticia were very good friends, and were really close. Veloso even wore Oiticica's "Parangolé" (a form of art/dresscode) in some shows and photoshootings. 2. Also, Oticica was despised by the Military, specially because of his saying "Seja marginal, seja herói" (Be an outcast, be a hero). In Brazil, the word "outcast" can also mean things like "thug" or "criminal", and it sounded like a provocation to the military. 3. Veloso and Gil were heavily influenced by an art movement from 1928 called "Manifesto Antropófago" (Manifest Antropofagic), by Oswald de Andrade. In it, he sais that Brazilian culture must come from the "consuption" of every type of culture, be it from Brazil, South America, US, Europe, etc., and then "putting it all out" in our own and unique way, and that only by doing so we would have a culture of our own. Veloso and Gil took this to heart when creating the Tropicalia. That's it! Thank you so much for this video! It was a blast"

I will add that it was Oiticica who created the term Tropicalia and Veloso ran with as a musical movement. I cant confirm but im not sure Helio was that close to Veloso. My mom was very close friend of Helio and took many photos of Parangole and Helios work and the rest of the Neo Concretismo movement with Lygia Clarke and Lygia Pape. Learning a lot reading your comments and others. Obrigado 🤟🏼.

I really like how Brazillian Prog Rock evolved in the 70's You have Os Mutantes with their 1974-1976 lineup, recording some of their best albums, such as "Tudo Foi Feito Pelo Sol" and "Cavaleiros Negros", alongside the most prominent prog band here: O Terço; recording "Criaturas da Noite" and "Casa Encatanda". Not even mentioning the cultural movements in Minas Gerais, reaching it's peak with "Clube da Esquina" by Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges, being considered the best MPB record in Brazil by critics and fans alike!

Great video! I'll add to the note that others have mentioned, that Tropicália as a movement built upon the concept of Antropofagia (anthropophagy, a fancy way of saying cannibalism). The debate about "brazilianness" had been going on since the early 1900s, with different scholars trying to define what the country's culture was, especially in the wake of independence and the abolition of slavery. One argument came from the artists in the Brazilian Modernist Movement, who took the cliche about native Brazilians being cannibals and flipped it on its head, saying that Brazil is essentially a mongrel country and its culture is defined by cannibalizing anything and everything and making it its own. The few native tribes that did practice cannibalism did it by eating their enemies in order to take on their powers, and the Modernists saw Brazilian culture essentially doing the same with every foreign influence. You can see how Tropicália picked up on that idea, but those tensions around what defined "Brazilian" culture were still raging at the time. Obviously there's a lot you could cover in future videos. Tom Zé is a fascinating figure, and you also have Milton Nascimento and Clube da Esquina. There's the generation that came later in the 70s, dubbed Geração Maldita (Doomed Generation), who were considered even more extreme compared to Caetano and Gil and didn't have the same success. People like Jorge Mautner, Walter Franco, Jards Macalé and Sérgio Sampaio. Another scene that is really fascinating is the one that came up in São Paulo in the early 80s around the club Lira Paulistana - a mix of bands playing MPB, punk, free jazz and new wave, it's an interesting look at what was happening as the dictatorship fell apart.

As an American fan of Brazilian music, I am glad to see you clearly do your due diligence in research and put in the work to make this video cover a wide array of the Tropicalia movement. Just to add my two cents about the movement from a foreign perspective… As brilliant of songwriters as Ze, Gil and Veloso were, as equally talented and insane musicians os mutantes were, as powerful and beautiful vocalists that Gal Costa and Jorge Ben were, I truly believe much of Tropicalia movement owes its identity to Rogerio Duprat. The cinematic and beautiful orchestrations in so many quintessential Tropicalia albums really help the movement feel like an expansion of the sgt pepper era of psychedelia while also having its own distinctly Brazilian flair. His string and horn arrangements are always exactly what they need to be and add a level of musical sophistication to many Tropicalia songs. Some notable Tropicalia albums with Duprat in the conductors chair…(costa 1969, Caetano Veloso white album, Gilberto Gil 1968 and 1969, the first 3 os mutantes albums) as well as many great albums afterwards (Chico Buarque Construcao, Erasmo Carlos self titled, Nara Leao dez anos depoz)

Great video! I'm from Bahia, Brazil, and, so, this video pretty much talks about people from my region, as much part of the Brazilian history, so it touches me seriously. As someone reminded in the comments, Tropicália as a movement was very much influenced by Oswald de Andrade's Manifesto Antropófago, as much as the Modernist movement in the 1920s, and, so, it's a follow-up to that idearium. Tropicália, the name itself, came from the artist Hélio Oiticica, whose art exposition had that name. So, the real start of Tropicália wasn't exactly from the music, but the fine arts. And Tropicália had also cinematic repercussions: Glauber Rocha's "O Dragão da Maldade contra o Santo Guerreiro" and Joaquim Pedro de Andrade's "Macunaíma", movies by two filmmakers from the Cinema Novo movement. There's also literary connections in Torquato Neto's poetry or in "PanAmérica" by José de Agrippino de Paula. I know that the focus here is on the music, but it's important to assure that Tropicália was a multiartistic movement. As for a Post-Tropicália repertoire, I'd suggest not only Novos Baianos, but also the so-called Malditos da MPB: Walter Franco, Sérgio Sampaio, Jorge Mautner, Jards Macalé, Raul Seixas (in spite of being more identified with the Brazilian rock)... I could tell also the Udigrudi Pernambucano (Lula Côrtes, Zé Ramalho, Alceu Valença) or the Vanguarda Paulista (Arrigo Barnabé, Tetê Espíndola, Itamar Assumpção)... By the way, I've been follow this channel even before this video, the suggestions of African and Soviet rock came from me thanks to you, Bandsplaining! So, this video is like a tip on the hat for us for us, Brazilians. So, thanks!

I only had a surface knowledge of Tropicalia before watching this video, but I absolutely love the first self titled Os Mutantes album! I think you hit the nail on the head, "Panis et Circenses" does have a Pet Sounds vibe to it, which is what drove my interest in the album, as a fan of 60s pop and Psych. "Adeus, Maria Fulô" is one of my favorites on that album, along with "Senhor F", and that blistering version of "Bat Macumba". A bunch of the main figures in the movement sounded familiar to me, and I realized I had liked a few songs by the artists on Spotify. I'm going to dig deeper into some of those albums after watching this, so thank you!

Hey man, big brazilian fan here, loved the video! Ty for introducing me to zamrock and peruvian cumbia! Have you heard of Chico Science e Nação Zumbi? Another legendary northeastern brazilian group, but from the 90s, who created manguebeat, a unique blend of traditional northeastern sounds, especially the percurssive maracatu, with psychodelic rock, metal, and more. Intense drums along some heavy and trippy riffage, over socially conscious lyrics, deeply rooted in northeartern culture. Unique stuff, you should check it out!

Nice video! For the post tropicalia era music, here’s my suggestion: Clube da Esquina! This mineiro movement was the maturity of tropicalism’s hibridity and musical genres mixing. Also, Milton Nascimento, Clube da Esquina’s central character, gained quite the recognition worldwide, recording with jazz legends, such as Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny (also, Esperanza Spalding’s latest album features him and his songs). Clube da Esquina had it’s influence on a number of artists worldwide. Musically, there’s samba and bossa, but quite hidden, in a mixture of Beatles rock, traditional music from Minas Gerais, jazz, Andean music, Brazilian northeastern music, classical music and sacred chants, with lots and lots modal harmony. Also very visual and cinematic lyrics, with a high dose of criticism towards the dictatorship.

12:50 Not really... They actually both have Gilberto as their first names! It's just that João Gilberto had what we call a composite name: a iberian naming convention that gives someone two first names, his actual last name was Pereira de Oliveira. For example, the full first name of actor Pedro Pascal is José Pedro. Brazilians of varying ancestries even appropriated this naming tradition in order to honor their ancestries: brazilian actress of japanese ancestry Ana Hikari has both Ana and Hikari as her first names, whereas her last name is Takenaka Rosa (this is pretty common amongst brazilians of japanese ancestry actually). Also, props to you for actually doing the research and not assuming our j's are pronounced like h's as it is in spanish! It's difficult to find this minimal demonstration of research even in supposed serious reporters/reporting channels.

Brazilian here. The video is excellent! It's really difficult to summarize so many things without sounding shallow-congratulations on that! But to add to the discussion (sorry for the bad English): 1 - The tension between what is Brazilian and what is foreign has always been very strong in here. I believe this happened in almost every country in the Americas when they started to develop their national identities. However, here, the royal family of Portugal moved to Brazil, and our independence was declared by the emperor (quite different from how England and Spain handled their colonies). One consequence, for example, is that countries with less significance, like Peru, had a university before Brazil, simply because people would go to Lisbon to study. The "Modernist" movement of 1922 is perhaps the greatest example of this tension. 2 - Now, this is a very personal opinion, but I have some issues with this "politicized" view of bossa nova. There's even a strong criticism that it is just watered-down samba, but I'm not going to get into that discussion here lol It's also worth mentioning that while exile is terrible, it's not the worst thing that can happen. I only say this because, here in Brazil, sometimes we forget about some artists from that period who didn’t sing openly political songs-mostly because they couldn't. even though it was political in another way. If it was hard for Caetano and Gil, imagine what it was like for a black person from the favela. An example of this is the song "Alerta Geral" by Ribas/Alcione. (I think from 75) 3 - Regarding Jorge Ben, one of my favorite artists, his early albums are considered bossa nova, even though he had the associating with the Jovem Guarda movement. However, he also composed music for Originais do Samba (carioca samba) and Wilson Simonal (pilantragem). In the 70s, he revolutionized samba-rock. Additionally, his themes ranged from hermeticism, astronaut gods, and the defense of Black identity. So, he was part of these movements, but always flying above them. 4 - As for Tom Zé, being the craziest of them all, he became the personification of Tropicália (for me at lest) and perhaps the one who remained the most true to the style over the years. That said, great video-congratulations again!

your research work is amazing on this video. Congratulations! This beef between MPB and Jovem Guarda happens until today between fans. MPB fans called the musicians of Jovem Guarda "alienated", but they ignore the HUGE influence. First, the name of the Rock movement in Brazil was Iê-iê-iê (because of Beatles "She Loves You" song). Jovem Guarda was just the name of the TV show, but nowadays people use the term Jovem Guarda as the movement, more than iê-iê-iê. So, iê-iê-iê was the movement that created the guitar culture in Brazil. Lots of guitar brands came in that era, and the most important one is Giannini with the Supersonic model. The most important guitarists in Brazil, Pepeu Gomes and Lanny Gordin used Giannini Supersonics. Without iê-iê-iê and jovem guarda we probably wouldn't have tropicália. I would love a video about jovem guarda

Bit of a long comment, but here I go. 1. There's a very small detail about Carmen Miranda that's kinda key to understand why Brazilians have a complicated relationship with her. She was born in Portugal. Even though she grew up here, the fact that she was born Portuguese and not Brazilian gets brought up a lot when discussing her legacy. That's because the idea of a stereotypical portrayal of our culture looks way worse when it's done by someone who hails from the country that colonized us. 2. The "Bat Macumba" version by Os Mutantes is an example of poesia concreta, which is a modernist poetic style developed in Brazil in the 20th Century that played a lot with not only meaning, but the actual shape of words and phrases as well. Thus the wings of a bat! 3. I actually think a fantastic post-Tropicália album is the eponymous debut album from Secos & Molhados, who were led by the great Ney Matogrosso. One of the greatest albums ever 4. Chico Buarque eventually did a song in the 70s called Jorge Maravilha that was a rock song about how the military hated him, but their daughters all listened to his music. It became a massive hit.

Carmem Miranda beign Portuguese is actually just a recent problem, as she came to Brazil only 3 months old, and when asked she usually answered that she was Born in Rio, so it was only a problem in the 21th century when that information became widespread, I the 30s she was the face of Samba until her Hollywood times.

Absolutely not a single person in Brazil cares that Carmen Miranda - or anyone else for that matter - was born in Portugal. Like millions of other immigrants, grandparents of millions of living Brazilians, she was born abroad and raised here. It’s completely ordinary, common and uneventful and has absolutely no cultural or political significance.

If you wanna go down the rabbit hole of short-lived brazilian musical movements, I highly recommend Vanguarda Paulista (from the 80s; check Clara Crocodilo by Arrigo Barnabé and Beleléu, Leléu, Eu by Itamar Assumpção, both are nice introductions, and things go from deconstructed samba to avant-prog with Stockhausen samples) and Manguebeat (from 90s Pernambuco, a response to the tech and computer boom; more of a hard rock fused with regional beats, check Chico Science & Nação Zumbi and Mundo Livre S/A). You'll also found that one of the most creative post-punk ever was being made in São Paulo. You can listen some good compilations of the scene in the Não Wave/Não São Paulo albums (yes, the name was taken from No Wave NY, but it sounds nothing like just a ripoff of DNA or The Contortions).

7:10 "Roda-viva" (living wheel) is more likely translated as "flywheel".

I would like to suggest another Brazilian musical movement that, as in the case of Tropicália, was influenced by such a great number of cultural sources and gained equal importance: Manguebeat. It was an on-top movement that belonged to Chico Science. It joined such traditional northeastern rhythms as maracatu with rock, hiphop, and electronic music to change the musical panorama. AND besides being musical, Manguebeat manifested itself through visual expressions such as paintings and graffiti and practiced social and environmental criticism to the neglect of urban peripheries and mangroves of Recife, the capital of Pernambuco located northeast of Brazil !!

’Bat’ also sounds like ‘bate,’ meaning ‘beat’ in Portuguese, which ties into the rhythm of macumba, a macumba beat. The negative space left by the bat wings on the lyric sheet resembles the lozenge shape on the Brazilian flag 🇧🇷. This demonstrates how they would start with an international pop culture reference and cleverly bring it back to a distinctly Brazilian cultural symbol.

Man that was electric, and literally about artist musicians and a movement i knew absolutely 0 about. What was happening in Brazil kinda makes the musical counter culture happening in the USA at the same time seem pale in comparison. Those guys were not only amazingly eclectic musicians, they were brave. Also, isn’t it funny how underground or avant garde or non conformist musical movements that seek to break the norms of the status quo end up having rigid definitions and any followers or artist that break the “rules” of the non conformist by not confirming, obviously thinking of the punk movement but there are countless others, end up being admonished and castigated for daring to think outside of the outside box

One of the best Brazilian albums post-Tropicália is called "Krig-ha, Bandolo!" by Raul Seixas.

Seconded - “Misterio do Planeta” is such a fantastic song. Rolling Stone Brasil put this album on top of their 100 Greatest Brazilian Albums of all Time list…

Great video! About post-tropicalia albums, I strongly recommend these: *Transa - Caetano Veloso (1972)* Considered by many to be his magnum opus (including Caetano himself), this was an album - like its predecessor - that was entirely recorded in London, during his exile period. It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 10 best Brazilian albums in history; in 2016, Pitchfork elected "You Don't Know Me" (the album opener) as the 73rd best song from the seventies. *Construção - Chico Buarque (1971)* This classic is widely regarded by music critics as one of the greatest Brazilian albums of all time, and its title track was named the greatest Brazilian song of all time by Rolling Stone. About the title track and its legendary status: The song is made of 14-syllable verses and each sentence ends with a proparoxytone word, where the lyrics feature a strong criticism towards the military dictatorship - serving also as a painful testimony about class oppression and the degrading relationship between capital and the working class. Particularly, I consider this as one of the most clever and complex lyrics in the history of music, worldwide speaking. *Paêbirú - Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho (1975)* One of the biggest classics of the Brazilian psychedelia, this conceptual album features a mix of free jazz, prog, psychedelic rock, MPB, Brazilian northeastern rhythms, and heavy experimentalism. It is considered to be the founder of a genuinely Brazilian psychedelia (with elements of indigenous culture), and it is regarded as one of the biggest exponents from the Udigrudi movement. The mystic - often slightly eerie - atmosphere of the record is directly inspired by the Ingá Stone, an ancient rock formation, located in the state of Paraíba, which features several petroglyphs - which some researchers believe to have Phoenician (or even Egyptian) origins - suggesting the representation of animals, fruits, and astronomical features like the constellation Orion and the Milky Way. The album is also inspired by the mythical figure of Sumé, an ancient entity in Tupi-Guarani culture. *A Divina Comédia - Os Mutantes (1970)* This was the band's first album to break away from the Tropicália aesthetic - mixing psychedelia, prog and space-rock, the album is considered by many to be the band's masterpiece. It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil at #22 on the list of the 100 best Brazilian albums of all time.

The Mutantes' Batmacumba lyrics resembles the brazilian national flag. It was inspired by the Poesia Concreta.

idk if countries who viewed the US with "suspicion", would think that was the right word. This was a time when the US was actively doing things that directly effected people, which could reasonably be anticipated to be viewed negatively by those countries' people. For example, the Bay Of Pigs invasion of Cuba, the intervention in Nicaragua, and also others during that period of only a couple decades, that overtly thwarted the organic development of those countries' own citizens' choices and path in their countries own political developments. I think we would have been a bit more than suspicious if another more powerful country had done something like that to us, regardless of whether their ideology is better or worse relative to ours, just as a matter of principle.

The auditorium was not in Catholic University in Rio, but in Sao Paulo. It was - and still is - called TUCA - Theatre of the Cacholic University

There is so much god music after Tropicália to write in a comment. But I will try to suggest one movement that is not always cited: the udigrud. Udigrud is the pernambucan response to Tropicália, and the brazilian focus to the center-south of the country. Because they are from Northeast, they are underground (udigrud). Alceu Valença and Ze Ramalho began in this scene, but the most iconic band is Ave Sangria (blood bird).

Though not as controversial since the dictatorship was over, the mangue beat movement did a similar thing later on, in the late 90s early 00s, though in an inverse direction. At that time american influence in culture was being praised in pop culture, and regional music had become marginalized, look into Chico Science e Nação Zumbi, might make a cool video
