Mundo Livre S/A at the Trama studio, March 2010 .
Mundo Livre S/A, formed since 1984 - Recife , is credited with creating a whole new genre in the ever changing musical landscape of Brazilian music - Manguebit. Created in the Pernambuco region, more specifically in Recife, manguebit (a.k.a. manguebeat) is a genre that fuses traditional brazilian sounds such as samba,ciranda, bossa nova, and maracatatu with psychedelic rock and funk, creating an intriguing sound that's great to jam to. Mundo Livre and other prominent Pernambucano musicians such as Fred 04 and Chico Science & Nacao Zumbi created this genre back in the early 90s, and it quickly evolved into a politico-cultural movement with its own manifesto, dubbed "Crabs with Brains".
