  1. The Tropicalist movement brought a number of innovations to the Brazilian cultural scene in the late 1960s. The movement was, in a sense, a right of the obviously militant population, that the country's political situation was a year of dictatorship and had a melody as a great medium of communication.

    The letters were invented, introducing games of language, approaching the poetry of concretists. The messages were coded, requiring a certain cultural baggage to be understood. Caetano Veloso's "Alegria, Alegria" doesn´t have an obvious meaning, but carries with it a stronger memory of the youth of the 60s, a torment with the violence of the dictatorship and a desire to innovate, to break barriers.

    They were characterized by excess, colorful clothes, long hair and added various musical influences. The era was to shock, through performances characterized by aesthetic violence, to protest against well-behaved Brazilian music. Influenced by the counterculture, they took over the language of parody and debauchery. Tropicalists transformed Brazilian popular music, being great exponents of Brazilian avant-garde art.

    Musically, tropicalism is a mixture of culture, psychological rock, erudite music, popular culture, among others, giving an account of various manifestations of national culture. The sound of the electric guitar coexisted with violins and with the berimbau. It was the rescue of the anthropophagic movement of Oswald de Andrade allied to the roots of the national traditions.
