the mangue beat originals – direct
from Recife

MUNDO LIVRE S/A are a major
musical force in Brazil and the
leading proponents of the Mangue
Beat (Mangrove Beat) movement.
Inspired by The Clash, The Sex
Pistols, hip hop and Brazilian pop
icons (Jorge Ben and Moreira da
Silva), they created a totally new
sound : traditional Brazilian rhythms
meet a hip-hop and punk influence.
Wildly cosmpolitan and deeply local,
Mundo Livre combine maracatu with
rock, romance with radical politics.
The typically Brazilian cavaquinho
[samba’s trademark 4 string guitar]
takes centre stage backed up by the
surdo (traditional bass drum) and
the pandeiro, with loud guitars,
digital samples and psychedelic
keyboards. Fred Zeroquatro is the
charismatic vocalist, utopian
dreamer and social activist driving
Mundo Livre’s life-affirming shows.

The band’s first record was SAMBA
ESQUEMA NOISE, released in 94,
considered to be one of the
movements classics'. Following this
came GUENTANDO A ÔIA,
CARNAVAL NA OBRA and the highly
acclaimed POR POUCO.
The new album: “O Outro Mundo de
Manuela Rosário”/ Candeeiro
