英语听力：自然百科 热带风潮的革命 Tropicalia Revolution—8

 This became known as the festival of booing. Roberto Carlos, the most successful pop star in Brazilian history and the host of a highly successful TV music show, was of course given a hard time. And the winner, predictably enough, was a singer associated with the left wing, Edo Lobo, with the cheerful anthem¹ Ponteio that expressed hope for change. 

 

  The 1967 festival was most important for the emergence² of Tropicalia, a brand new movement determined³ to transform Brazilian music. 

 

  It was headed by Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, two friends who'd moved to Rio from the northern city of Salvador, but aimed to break what they saw as the stranglehold of Rio on Brazilian music. They were opposed to the military dictatorship of course, but also opposed to what they saw as the dogmatic elitism⁴ of the left. They planned to create a new, distinctively⁵ Brazilian style, by mixing rock music from the west with different styles from right across Brazil. Gilberto Gil was deliberately⁶ provocative⁷, working with a rock band, Os Mutantes, who used electric guitars, hated by the left, for the first time at a song festival on Domingo No Parque. 

 

Caetano Veloso was also controversial. He upset left-wingers, who thought his song Algeria, Algeria sounded too American, though it became such a success that he acquired pop star status.
