Tropicália movement
Tropicália was a Brazilian cultural movement that emerged in the late 1960s, blending music, art, and political activism. It sought to challenge traditional Brazilian culture by incorporating diverse influences, including rock, samba, and avant-garde art, creating a unique and innovative style. Artists like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil were key figures, using their work to address social issues and critique the military dictatorship in Brazil at the time. Tropicália celebrated creativity and cultural fusion, leaving a lasting impact on Brazilian music and art, and becoming a symbol of resistance and modernity.
