Manguebeat

Manguebeattumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/search/manguebeat, https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/manguebeat?sort=top is a musical and cultural movement that originated in Brazil in 1991, and uses colours found in maracatu performances, which tend to have psychedelic patterns. Imagery such as mangroves are also prominent. The Manguebeat movement is known for being critical in nature. Pioneers of the movement include Chico Science (from the band Chico Science & Nação Zumbi) Fred04 (from the band Mundo Livre S/A), Mestre Ambrósio, the band Sheik Tosado, the band Comadre Fulozinha and the band Via Sat.
The main symbol associated with the movement is a crab. People who participate in Manguebeat are known as Manguegirls and/or Mangueboys.
==History==
It was a reaction to the lack of opportunities for young local artists and musicians, as well as an expression of the unique cultural identity of the region. The movement blends elements of traditional Northeastern music, such as maracatu, coco, ciranda, and embolada, with influences from rock, hip-hop, funk, and electronic music.
The term "Manguebeat" refers to the mangrove region, a coastal ecosystem area in Recife, symbolizing the connection between urban culture and Northeastern cultural traditions. The Manguebeat movement also had a strong political and social dimension, aiming to address issues such as social inequality, marginalization, and environmental preservation.
The album "Da Lama ao Caos," released by the band Chico Science & Nação Zumbi in 1994, is often considered a milestone of Manguebeat. The album features an innovative blend of rhythms and lyrics addressing social and cultural issues in the region.
Unfortunately, the rise of Manguebeat was interrupted in 1997 with the premature death of Chico Science in a car accident. Nevertheless, the movement left a lasting legacy, influencing subsequent generations of musicians and artists in Pernambuco and throughout Brazil.
