Sociedade da Grã-Ordem Kavernista Apresenta Sessão das 10

In this desolate landscape of oppression and depression, the underground reigned supreme. And, for a second there, it actually seemed to be able to reinvent social commentary using a language and code coming from the margins—a glorification of the outcast that eventually gave birth to its own sub-movement: Marginália or Cultura Marginal. Representing it as a privileged emblem of weirdness and shocking value was a delirious fever dream. Recorded in June 1971 and released the following month, Sociedade da Grã-Ordem Kavernista can be seen as the Frank Zappa's Freak Out! to Tropicália ou Panis et Circencis's Sgt Pepper. More subversive and more experimental than the tropicalist manifesto that had served as one of its main inspirations, the collective album was cursed from the get-go, condemned to premature oblivion by a mix of promotional faux-pas and the tightening of the Brazilian dictatorship.
