Caetano Veloso (1968)

Caetano Veloso's self-titled 1968 debut album distills his Tropicalist program into solo form, pairing Rogério Duprat's adventurous arrangements with songs that move from electric provocation to plainspoken tenderness. It includes the manifesto-song 'Tropicália' and the festival breakthrough 'Alegria, Alegria'. The record stands as one of the movement's defining statements.
