"TROPICALI" Pretty World Brazilian Psychedelic Trip

Tropicalia and Beyond (revisited)

"My long-suffering people said farewell to their pain to see a band go by - playing love songs" - Chico Buarque (from his song 'A Banda')

The 'Tropicalia' music of the late '60s and early '70s, in many ways, followed the trends of the UK and US: protest songs, psychedelic experimentation, a hippy return to strumming and shouting, heavy rock-glam and so on. Yet, distinct elements of traditional Brazilian culture were embedded (both sincerely and ironically) within the Tropicalia movement creating a unique musical world cohabited by the old and new - and also its fair share of controversy.

Godyssey !!!

My Goddess! Another amazing painting by the Fabulous Lynne Naylor! You can see her work "Godyssey" TODAY, April 24th, at the M Modern Gallery 7-10 pm in Palm Springs for Free!
