The story of one of the last great cultural movements in Brazil: the “Mangue beat”. With the testimonies of its creators and heirs, it reveals how this aesthetic movement, born in Pernambuco in the 1990s, put the margins and cultural manifestations of the metropolitan region of Recife on the map. Uniting music, cinema, visual arts and literature, it immortalized names like Chico Science & Nação Zumbi, Mundo Livre S/A and the Abril Pro Rock festival.
