Tropicale explores the vibrant connection between 1960s Italian film music and tropical genres like bossa nova, samba, calypso, and Latin jazz. Featuring rare and unreleased tracks by Morricone, Piccioni, Nicolai, Trovajoli, and others, this 26-track collection captures the escapist spirit of Italy’s Dolce Vita era. Blending South American and Caribbean rhythms with Italian jazz flair, Tropicale is a rhythmic, genre-blurring journey through the exotic soundtrack of vintage Italian cinema.
