5.0 out of 5 stars Pioneers of the "Manguebeat" style, September 21, 2003

This guys have managed to grasp the feeling of some Brazilian traditional rhythms (like samba, for instance) and combine them with electronic - TripHop-esque beats and Catchy guitar/bass riffs. Everything makes perfect sense in the end. I highly recommend this since it?s one of the most authentic bands of the last decade. Just give it a try, it's absolutely fascinating.

5.0 out of 5 stars 90"s Best Album, January 10, 2001

This review is from: Afrociberdelia (Audio CD)

This is the second album of CSNZ. Definetely is the best brazilian album released in 90's. Mixing many styles, CSNZ did a sound that's too hard to define, but very good to listen. Their influences are psyco and brazilian rhymes. They surprised the brazilians when they played some tradicional styles with modern influences (rock, rap,electronica). This album is full of it! Let's groove!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just when you thought nothing new would come out of Brazil.., March 11, 1999

This review is from: Afrociberdelia (Audio CD)

Chico Science and his top-notch band, aided by the expert production of BID, brings something entirely new out of the pretty much stagnant brazilian music scene. Exquisite percussion, the rich rhythmic heritage of the brazilian northeast, all mixed with contemporary influences that makes this music widely universal and modern. Chico's death was a terrible loss for brazilian music, but thanks to his efforts, his comrades are keeping the Recife scene alive and kicking. Do yourself a favour and don't let this important evolutionary step in brazilian music out of your CD collection.
