Originally intended to be transistory, the military regime quickly formed into a full dictatorship. Although not as harsh as some other Latin American countries, the government was harsh when compared to Brazil's recent history. The government was not popular, and quickly the people found outlets to express their anger and disillusionment toward the new paradigm. Out of this came a number of poets, then artists (painters, sculptors) and then musicians who, through their art, expressed tolerance, innovation, and a cannibalism of world culture. This absorption of many different influences from many different cultures allowed the musicians that came to dominate the Tropicalia movement to create some of the most wholly original music the country, or even the world had seen at the time.
