From the region of Bahia, a group of musicians emerged who blended bossa nova with pop, rock’n’roll and psychedelia into a style that became known as Tropicalia.
Political protest was not, in 1967, repressed to a large extent. Pop imports by the likes of The Beatles were absorbed, and from this melting pot emerged distinct styles that supported differing political viewpoints.

His smash Mas Que Nada really kickstarted the international interest in Brazilian music, while at home, traditional Brazilian music festivals shown on the emerging medium of TV proved a huge hit with the locals. They brought with them the traditional sounds of their indigenous “indian” forefathers, such as maracatú from the north country, which blended with samba to produce a new sound in the hands of musicians such as Jorge Ben. Increasing industrialisation in the developing country drew tens of thousands of migrant workers to the major cities from the countryside, leading to the rapid growth of the shanty towns known as favelas. Meanwhile, in the real world, the country was in the grip of a military coup, with a dictatorship seizing power amid fears that the incumbent government was about to follow Cuba down the road to left-wing isolationism. Air travel was taking off in a big way in the early 1960s, and when Joao Gilberto sang of the Girl from Ipanema in 1964, worldwide audiences lapped up the thought of idyllic Brazilian beaches and bronzed beauties. Its name was Tropicália.īack in the 1930s, samba music emerged as the national style, but later, in the 1950s, a new sound called bossa nova took up the baton and broke out of the country to become a global musical sensation. In fact in the 1960s, a musical movement emerged that was the source of civil unrest and political persecution, as well as great artistic expression. Now embraced around the world as a celebratory, feel-good artform, Brazilian music hasn’t always enjoyed such a cheerful time. From the overtly musical Carnival, to the dancing feet of its footballers, sometimes nicknamed the Samba Stars, everything seems to happen with a rhythm that is uniquely Brazilian.īut just as Brazilian music is one of the country’s main cultural exports, its roots come from cultural imports – immigrants from Africa, Caribbean influences, folk from the north country, and elements of American music both black and pop make up what Brazilian music is today. Music is one of the integral parts of the Brazilian identity, to such an extent that any thoughts of the country, its culture, people and places comes with a mental samba soundtrack.
