Default Tropicalia: Brazilian Psychedelic Rock

any fans? im a huge gilberto gil, caetano veloso, gal costa, tom ze, and os mutantes fan.

if you dont know what im talking about check out these records:
Various Artists - Tropicália: ou Panis et Circenses
probably the definitive album of the genre. contained all three artists on it.

Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes
the first record from "the brazilian beatles". apt moniker considering there are very very few artists who ever got close to the innovative style of music the beatles made. a truly original sound they made. their next 3 albums are sick too.

Gilberto Gil - Gilberto Gil '71
my favorite record by the guy who was sooo good he is now brazils minister of culture. an amazing singer.

Caetano Veloso - Caetano Veloso '69
now we go to "the brazilian dylan". an equally apt moniker (if you understand portuguese). but thats unnecessary to enjoy the music. he is f'in amazing as a singer/songwriter and made some of the best records ive ever heard.

if you do know who im talking about, discuss.
