Alma Tropicália

Alma Tropicália from Washington DC reimagines the psych-samba sounds of 60’s tropicália music from Brazil, a mind-bending mix of tropical rhythms, soulful funk grooves and day-glo psychedelia that has quickly earned the group ecstatic reviews and packed performances across the region. www.almatropicalia.net

After 5 years of gigging throughout DC, New York, Miami, Baltimore, and Richmond, Alma Tropicália will be calling it quits this summer (aside from the possible occasional reunion show). We've got one more very special show this Friday, June 19 @ the Tropicalia club. Don't miss it! #lastshow #almatropicalia #psychedelic #tropicalia #tropicaliadc #dc
