Toronto is famous for its multiculturalism. It’s a place where the entire world can be found, even when it comes to music. Os Tropies are making a name for themselves as the city’s purveyors of Tropicalia, the unique Brazilian spin on psychedelia. Featuring Brazilian and African rhythms, rock and roll structures, and challenging soundscapes, their new album ‘The Soil’ is an exhilarating trip back in time to a moment of radical musical experimentation. But while their songs are steeped in history, the band still manages to sound current, blending modern lyrical themes and avant-garde textures into the mix. Get the album on Bandcamp. – David Levy
