Musical Genres--Folk, Jazz, Sountracks, More - Tropical Music


Expert: Thomas Grond - 8/26/2006

Question
I don�t know if it was ever that popular, but I have heard examples of a genre called Tropicalia.  Probably 40�s, featured simulated jungle sounds, bird calls, lush music.  Do you know of any performers, records, or titles of that genre?  It sounded good, �easy listening.�  Thanks!

Answer
Dear John

As I don't know this genre I went and had a look on wikipedia.org. And - they really have an article. Please try the URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropicalia and you will find info about this genre which is much more than music and links to key artists.

Hope that this helps.
Cheers
Thomas
