the movement found its name in the coming months when a newspaper article describing the music was published, entitled 'a cruzazada tropicalista' (the tropicalista crusade) - tropicália had a rather short life in and of itself, with much of it being censored or banned outright by the government in its first year of existence and many artists had to flee the country for some time to avoid arrest.

it left an indubitable mark on brazilian music, and would come full circle decades later when the style was cited as being hugely influential by english-language musicians such as david byrne of the talking heads, kurt cobain from nirvana, and beck.

the original tropicalistas gil, veloso and costa continued to make music to this day, to be enjoyed by all generations.
