I thought it was a good companion to the BBC 4 documentaries (Brazil, Brazil) you can find on Youtube.

This is an awesome book, great background behind Os Mutantes, Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben, Gal Costa, and other Tropicalia luminaries.
SUCH a good book about Tropicalia. The music and the history behind it really show through the engaging writing.
