About this album
Tropico is a vibrant late-1970s Gato Barbieri album that brings his fiery tenor style into a more accessible Latin jazz-funk and disco setting. Issued in 1978, it reflects the period when Barbieri moved beyond his earlier avant-garde reputation towards a broader, groove-driven sound without losing his dramatic tone. The album balances lyrical melody with rhythmic drive, and songs such as Poinciana (Song Of The Tree), Odara and Where Is The Love show how effectively he fused South American flavour, jazz improvisation and popular crossover appeal. It remains one of his best-known recordings from the decade.
