TROPICALE: When the Dolce Vita discovered exotica, calypso, mambo, samba and other tropical rhythms (1959–1969) (2LP) paolo buonvino Eli Roth’s Red Light DiscoTropicale is the explosion of joy of the Italian economic miracle, the promise of distant destinations becoming all of a sudden tangible, the illusion of a taboo world where everything seems possible. Through rare and unreleased cuts from the CAM Sugar archive, Tropicale traces the incendiary liaisons between Italian film music and tropical culture in the 1960s across bossa nova, samba, Latin jazz, exotica, calypso, mambo and other tropical rhythms.
