Mangue Beat, a musical and aesthetic movement which emerged in Pernambuco in the 1990s, transformed the visibility of the peripheries and cultural manifestations of the metropolitan area of Recife and placed the state on the map of the world music market with the launching of bands like Chico Science and Nação Zumbi and Mundo Livre S.A. The film experiments with the freedomn of thought of the Mangue using a plural language, which brings togther ideias and ideals, refleting the daring which resulted in the great symbol of the movement: a satellite dish planted in the mud of the estuaries - the Mangue.

Chico Science, Nação Zumbi, and their manguebeat. This is the theme of the documentary. The film explores the story of an artist, a band, and a musical genre that emerged in the early '90s, blending the roots of Brazilian culture with contemporary and international influences. As a result, the art, cinema, and especially the sound known as "manguebeat" stood out in the country's music scene as something entirely unique, original, and inspiring.
