Gélia Geral (General Jelly) refers to Brazilian culture as an amorphous
confusion of contradictory parts, in particular the age-old (and ongoing) dilemmas
of jungle and city, plantation and factory, tropical and modern, and has become
an iconic representation of the Tropicália agenda (and other strands
of the Brazilian avant-garde). Patriotic literary clichés roll out from
the onset, iconic authors are quoted and parodied, and then the song descends
into a jumbled montage of snippets of the mundane and every day.
