Alma Tropicália

Alma Tropicália (Portuguese for “Tropicália Soul”) is a new creative project and D.C.'s first ever tribute to the classic Brazilian 1960s tropicália movement. The group combines traditional Brazilian rhythms with the outrageous sounds of psychedelic pop—equal parts samba, bossa nova, forró, and rock 'n' roll. Alma Tropicália is fronted by Elin, a renowned jazz vocalist and master of Brazilian styles, who has toured the world and led her own groups at the Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and other top jazz clubs.
