Três trópicos da tropicália

flash

It was a flash of historic possibility. There was an element of freedom from repression that only those people who were almost fated to lead it understood. The others ended up remaining in that thing of ‘be careful with this hippie weirdness’.

There was a kind of ideological superego that prevented a real understanding. A movement like this has its formal aspect and its language. This language was not shared or even understood. I remember that when we started to use Tropicalist clothes, people said we were with the Globo TV network.
