How would a Brazilian band be classified if they played a wild punkish funk sound that was also fuelled by obscure northeastern Brazilian carnival music forms that are the forebears of Samba? There is such a band. Meet Naçào Zumbi.Pronounced NASS-OW ZOOM-BEE, they take old and new Brazilian music influences - with all its percussion-drenched syncopation - and the sounds of what Brazilians call the 'exterior'. Remember, for Brazilians, Dub, Punk and Hip-Hop are 'World Music'. While Bebel Gilberto updates the Bossa Nova idiom and Sao Paulo kicks a foreign music form - Drum'n'Bass - up the backside, Naçào Zumbi have married the percussion sounds of their music-rich native state, Pernambuco, to the gamut of left-field tastes and experiences of the six main band mem¬bers. I f you booked them to play between Queens Of The Stone Age and Jane's Addiction at Lollapalooza, Naçào Zumbi's guitar virtuoso (and former Soulfly guitarist) Lucio Maia would give Dave Navarro a run for his money. D ip your dancing feet into the Naçào Zumbi sound - the Mangue roots will wrap themselves around your internal rhythm. You may never escape.]]>Nacao Zumbihttp://nacaozumbi.linktvstore.org/#album_185782005-04-12T10:55:32ZMusic from Nacao ZumbiNacao Zumbi gets its menace and thunder from the battery of alfaias (bass drums that are slung across the torso) that propel it. Originally fronted by the late Chico Science who named the music they created Manguebeat (for the mangroves that cover the shores of Recife in Pernambuco) they have emerged from the shadow of his death, and are pumping away with more drive than ever. Jorge du Paixe, one of the founding members now carries the vocals. The lyrics from the song 'Blunt of Judah' are hallucinatory: 'Your dreams make me see through doors, and walk across mirrors.I can keep dreaming after I wake up.' There's a lot of rock, funk, and drum bass to be heard here, but under it all, there's a solid connection to Brazilian roots rhythms.
