Caetano Veloso (1967)

Caetano Veloso's 1968 solo album is the most song-friendly of the movement's records. Alegria, Alegria, a breezy pop song stuffed with news headlines and brand names, is the easiest way in, and the track Tropicália, which gave the movement its name, piles up images of Brazil over Duprat's dramatic brass. Clarice shows the quieter, more poetic side.
