At the 90’s it was born at Vitória’s island, Espírito Santo, a new rhythm that mixes the local culture with the world pop music, the ROCKCONGO, created by MANIMAL, a band compound by brothers and lifelong friends, all according to the Congo’s tradition, a typical capixaba’s folkloric manifestation.
Since then, the band is on the road making public their differentiated sound and conquering some eminence and awards wherever they go. The first one was a jingles contest that allowed the MANIMAL’S first phonographical register. In July, 96, it was the occasion of winning the best arrangement’s prize at the National Music Festival, in Alegre, ES, among 360 inscriptioned songs, where MANIMAL showed, for the first time, the Rockongo to a big audience (about 20 thousand people), only two months later, the band was finalist of “LES DECOUVERTS DE RFI” (International Radio France) that has
considered Manimal one of the eight best works of the Latin America and Caribe, among 440 bands of the whole world, besides has been elected the EXPO 98’s Revelation band, in Lisboa – Portugal.

Transcending the country limits, Manimal did more than 30 presentations in two tours by Europe, traveling by Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands showing up on the biggest European summer festivals like the Sfinks (Belgium), Del Grec (Spain), Expo 98 (Portugal), among others, besides shows in night clubs and even on the street.
With the same structure since it has appeared, eight years ago, the group is nowadays one of the most respected bands of Espírito Santo and responsible for the inclusion of the Congo’s rhythm in the pop world. Manimal presents the rhythm side by side with the rock, reggae , samba, ticumbi, jongo, electronic music, MPB and pop. A real musical volcano
that has one foot at the modernity and another at the popular culture.
