Tropicália: A Brazilian Revolution in Sound cover art

Curated by Soul Jazz Records, this compilation provides a vibrant overview of the brief but highly influential late-1960s Brazilian cultural movement. The tracks highlight the radical collision of traditional bossa nova and samba rhythms with imported psychedelic rock, fuzz guitars, and avant-garde lyricism. It features pioneering works from icons like Os Mutantes, Caetano Veloso, and Gilberto Gil, who actively resisted the country's military dictatorship through music.
