Rogério Duprat
A composer trained in the European avant-garde who became central to São Paulo's experimental and Tropicalist scene, Rogério Duprat was the arranger who gave Tropicália its orchestral and electroacoustic edge, scoring the strings, brass, and collage that frame its key records. He arranged the 1968 collective album and the solo debuts of Veloso and Gil, importing Stockhausen-era ideas into popular song. His charts are the connective tissue between erudite experiment and the festival stage.

Rogério Duprat, trained in the European avant-garde, arranged the 1968 manifesto album that gathered the Tropicalists into a single statement. His orchestral collage is the connective tissue binding Caetano, Gil, Gal, Os Mutantes, and Tom Zé on one record. The arranger turned a loose movement into a coherent sound.
