The 2552nd greatest album of all time

Tropicália: A Brazilian Revolution in Sound is a 2005 compilation that surveys the late 1960s Tropicália movement, showing how Brazilian popular forms such as bossa nova and samba were fused with psychedelic rock, experimental production and pop songwriting. The collection captures the movement's eclectic textures, from acoustic rhythms and brass arrangements to electric guitars and studio effects, and reflects the period's cultural and artistic upheaval in Brazil.
