The movement has its own [[manifesto]], ''Caranguejos com Cérebro'' (or "[[Crab]]s with [[Brain]]s" in [[English language|English]]), written in 1991 by singer [[Fred 04]] and DJ Renato L (Renato Lin).<ref>{{Cite book|last=Galinsky|first=Philip|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9781315023977|title=Maracatu Atomico|date=2013-12-16|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-136-71721-5}}</ref> Its title refers to Recife's inhabitants as crabs living in Recife's mangrove environment. A major symbol associated with mangue bit is that of an antenna stuck in the mud receiving signals from all over the world.

''Mangue bit'' can be divided into two distinct waves: the first in the early 1990s led by the music groups [[Chico Science]] & [[Nação Zumbi]] ([[Zumbi]]'s Nation)<ref>{{cite book |title=Brazilian Popular Music & Globalization |first1=Charles A. |last1=Perrone |first2=Christopher |last2=Dunn |page=[https://archive.org/details/brazilianpopular00perr/page/29 29] |year=2001 |publisher=[[Routledge]] |isbn=9780415936958 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/brazilianpopular00perr/page/29 }}</ref> and [[Mundo Livre S/A]] (Free World Inc.), and the second in the early 2000s led by Re:Combo (a [[copyleft]] movement that uploads half-sampled music for download) and [[Cordel do Fogo Encantado]] (a music group that started as a roving theatre troupe with roots in a form of literature known as ''[[cordel literature|literatura de cordel]]'' ("twine literature")).

The original movement named itself ''mangue bit'', ''mangue'' referring to Recife's mangroves and ''bit'' to the computer [[bit]] central to the movement's [[electronic music]] influences. Since then, mangue bit has commonly, albeit mistakenly, been referred as ''mangue beat''.
