Nacao Zumbi (formerly Chico Science & Nação Zumbi) is a Brazilian band formed by Chico Science. They have been hailed as one of the most important groups to come out of the Manguebeat movement in the 1990s. They experiment with rock, punk, funk, hip hop, soul, Pernambuco’s regional rhythms and Brazilian traditional music.
Merging Northeastern rhythms with electronica and social critique, the band’s lyrics spotlight inequalities and champion cultural diversity. Their impact goes beyond Brazil, introducing Manguebeat to global stages. Today, they’re more than a band: they’re the poetic voice of protest, a beacon of innovation, and a standard-bearer for social battles.
