Domingo no Parque
Gilberto Gil's 'Domingo no Parque', sung at the 1967 TV Record festival with Os Mutantes, layers a jealous Sunday-fair tragedy over a propulsive berimbau-and-guitar arrangement. Its fusion of Bahian percussion with electric rock astonished the audience and placed it among the festival's top songs. Alongside 'Alegria, Alegria' it is treated as a founding performance of Tropicália.
