In this memoir, Caetano Veloso tells the story of how, in the late 1960s, he and a group of friends from the state of Bahia created tropicalismo, the movement that shook Brazialian culture and civic order and pushed a nation, on the margins of world politics and economics, into the pop avant-garde.
