The first in a series of compilation discs put together by David Byrne for his Luaka Bop label, BELEZA TROPICAL attempts to harness a whole musical movement within a single collection. While North America had long succumbed to bossa nova (to the point of its becoming merely a cheesily exotic seduction), the sounds of tropicalismo initially had little impact outside of its native Brazil. Forged in a period of social and political upheaval, the music draws on an enormous variety of musical influences--from traditional Brazilian folk music and street songs to chansons and rock & roll--and reflects the complexity of a culture caught between the expansion of the modern world and the harshness of a repressive dictatorship. And although it's impossible to draw an entire portrait with a single stroke, BELEZA TROPICAL is a suitable introduction to some of the innovators of Brazilian pop, among them Milton Nascimento, Gal Costa, and Caetano Veloso.

happy to meet you i've been seeking this cd for a very long time...finally you gave me the chance i was exepecting...thanx a lot Submitted by sdpta (taranto - ITALY) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Dunno... but I love it.
I don't know if these are Brazilian classics. I don't know the artists, I don't know the songs.
I DO know that this is a collection of GREAT songs. I've been to Brazil, and while I don't recall hearing any of these tunes there, they without doubt bring back memories of the people and country.
The music is bright, lively, intelligent and emotional. This is worth owning only for the first 4 tracks alone... the rest are gravy. Submitted by jasperkonrad (Seattle, WA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
worth getting this is worth getting if only just for the two magnificent jorje ben songs filho maravighlia and punta de lanca africana which are both absolute must. The extensive liner notes of David Byrne's are also very interesting. Submitted by christophe (london, england) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
