🍍IT’S OUT!🍍

My book on Tropicália for @3313books.bsky.social is out now on @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, available pretty much everywhere (links in bio) though I’d encourage you to support your local bookstores whenever possible.

✨Gal e Rita, esse daí é pra vocês✨

For @aquariumdrunkard.com, I wrote about Raul Seixas's 1974 masterpiece Gita, which is getting a repress in red vinyl this month.

Reupping this because I just finished watching the new Raul Seixas docuseries* and I feel I need more Maluco Beleza in my life.

*Sociedade Kavernista gets a brief mention as does Sérgio Sampaio's absolute bop Eu Quero É Botar Meu Bloco na Rua

Recorded in June 1971 and released the following month, Sociedade da Grã-Ordem Kavernista can be seen as the Frank Zappa’s Freak Out! to Tropicália ou Panis et Circencis’s Sgt Pepper.
