Introducing Beleza Tropical, a groundbreaking compilation now available for the first time on LP. This newly remastered 2LP set features vibrant colored vinyl and includes fresh notes from the iconic David Byrne. Discover a collection that encapsulates the rich tapestry of Brazilian music, highlighting artists who faced exile for their sweet yet revolutionary sounds.
During Brazil’s military regime in the late ’60s and early ’70s, music like this was not just art; it was a form of resistance. With its blend of poignant lyrics, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and electric guitars, these songs inspired a generation, capturing the spirit of a time that sought to stifle creativity.
David Byrne reflects on his journey with this music, recalling how it first captivated him and led him to explore the works of legends like Milton Nascimento and Caetano Veloso. This compilation is more than just a collection of tracks; it’s an exploration of a culture that creates profound yet enchanting music.
Limited to just 1,250 copies in the U.S., this release is a must-have for collectors of colored vinyl records and anyone looking to buy colored vinyl records online.
