This portrait of Tropicália, exploring everything from influences and results to context and main players, shows how the genre helped reinvent Brazil's cultural identity in a postcolonial world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe genre's core comes from a unique mix of native and foreign influences: Tropicália doesn't reject the international pop panorama but is an undeniable product of it. The book sets the strangling military dictatorship and its resulting censorship serving as the sociopolitical backdrop of the genre. Tropicália propelled culture (and counterculture) forward, moving away from senseless niche intellectualisms in favour of a broader reach of Brazilian music.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAna Leorne\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, artist, musician and researcher based in Paris, France.
