# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Psychedelic: Hostile to long text and critical controls. Reserve places for the eye to rest.
# - Tropicália: Reducing it to colorful tropical taste reproduces the tourist paradise it set out to criticize, so the Brazilian military regime, the favelas and the political mixing of music and art have to be read.
