The Seventh Case of the Brazilian Symphony
The Brazilian Symphony genre is a chance to combine various elements of Brazil's sprawling musical scene into a single harmonious radio show. I generally stay away from the straight dance musics, such as samba and forro; the Brazilian Symphony is more of a think-piece, generally featuring folk, rock, and soul with lots of psychedelic touches.
Today's show spends the first hour on the fringes of the tropicalia movement of the late 1960s; there will be a few songs from that movement, but this is more of an exploration into how those experimental sounds morphed into prog rock and psych folk in the early 1970s. This first hour is a little closer to the pop scene.
The second hour today goes deeper into the crate, with sounds that move out of the mainstream, into more artsy territory. We'll hear from Brazilian oddball folk hero Tom Ze alongside more obscure figures from the 70s musical scene. It's a dreamy music Sunday on today's Adventures.
