With the declaration of Institutional Act 5 on 13 December 1969 the military
government assumed naked dictatorial powers and exercised them. They began by
placing Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil under arrest, then house arrest in Salvador,
then exile in London for three years. While in Salvador in 1969 they recorded
climactic Tropicália records, in which Rogério was intimately
involved, and to which he contributed lyrics for the most esoteric word and
sound collage ‘songs’, Gil’s Objeto semi-identificado and
Veloso’s Acrilyrico, and a cover design featuring his own elusive poetry
for Gil.
