TropicĂĄlia, also known as Tropicalismo, is a Brazilian art movement that arose in the late 1960s and encompassed theatre, poetry, and music, among other forms. TropicĂĄlia was influenced by poesia concreta, a genre of Brazilian avant-garde poetry embodied in the works of Augusto de Campos, Haroldo de Campos, and DĂ©cio Pignatari, among a few others.
Tropicålia is associated almost exclusively with the movement's musical expression, both in Brazil and internationally; a form of Brazilian music that arose in the late 1960s from a mélange of bossa nova, rock and roll, Bahian folk music, African music, and Portuguese fado. .
