Nação Zumbi

Nação Zumbi (formerly Chico Science & Nação Zumbi) is a Brazilian band formed by Chico Science. They have been hailed as one of the most important groups to come out of the manguebeat movement in the 1990s. The musicians of the group continued as Nação Zumbi after Science died in a car accident on February 2, 1997.[citation needed] In their songs they experiment with mixing of rock, punk, funk, hip hop, soul, Pernambuco's regional rhythms and Brazilian traditional music, with heavy use of percussion instruments.[citation needed] They released two albums before the time of Chico's death, Da lama ao caos (From Mud to Chaos) in 1994 and Afrociberdelia in 1996. Both received critical acclaim. In 1996, Nação Zumbi contributed Maracatu Atômico to the AIDS-Benefit Album Red Hot + Rio produced by the Red Hot Organization.[citation needed] Jorge Du Peixe – alfaia (1992–1997), vocals, sampler (1998–2022; 2023–present) Alexandre Dengue – bass, backing vocals (1992–2022; 2023–present) Toca Ogam – percussion, vocals (1992–2022; 2023–present) Chico Science – vocals, sampler (1992–1997; died 1997) Lúcio Maia – guitar, backing vocals (1992–2022) Canhoto – snare drum (1992–1995) Gira – alfaia (1993–2000) Gilmar Bola 8 – alfaia, percussion (1993–2015) Kuki Storlaski – drums (1995) Pupillo – drums, percussion (1995–2018) Marcos Matias – alfaia (1998–2011) Ramon Lira – alfaia (2011–2012) Gustavo Da Lua – alfaia, percussion Marcos Matias – alfaia, percussion Tom Rocha – alfaia, percussion (2013–2018), drums (2018–present) Zi Ferreira – guitar (2022, support member) Neilton Carvalho – guitar (2023–present) 1994: Da Lama ao Caos - Gold 1996: Afrociberdelia - Gold 1998: CSNZ 2000: Rádio S.AMB.A 2002: Nação Zumbi 2005: Futura 2007: Fome de tudo 2014: Nação Zumbi Nação Zumbi – Biography at AllMusic.
