Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil are legends of Brazilian music. They are more than performers. Known for their political views, both the singers had to go into exile in 1968, four years after Brazil fell to military dictatorship. Living abroad, they continued to compose their unique band of music, mixing their views with Brazilian beat. They were the pioneers of the tropicalia movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which grew in Rio and gave a distinct identity to the Brazilian music.
