=== Manifesto Mangue ===
The Mangue manifesto, titled "Caranguejos Com Cérebro" (Crabs with Brains), was written by [[Fred 04]] and Renato L. and distributed to the press in 1991. Though his name is not listed as an author when the manifesto was printed, [[Chico Science]] likely played a role in its creation.<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|pages=43}}</ref> When naming Mangue, Chico Science initially used it solely to describe the fusion of genres and sounds used by Loustal and Lamento Negro. However, soon the word changed to describe more than the specific sound. DJ Renato L. describes Mangue as  <blockquote>"a label that we used for a type of cultural cooperative . . . that united some bands [particularly Nação Zumbi and Mundo Livre S/A], some visual artists, some journalists, some unemployed. And the idea, the label mangue emerged because Recife is a city that is constructed on top of the manguezais ["mangrove swamps"]. Our idea at the time [in the early ’90s] was to try to create a cultural scene here in Recife that was as rich and diversified as the mangue swamps, because the swamps are perhaps the ecosystem that has the greatest biodiversity of the planet. So the idea was to create a cultural scene . . . that had the same diversity, that wasn’t tied down to a single rhythm, a single style, or single fashion".<ref name=":2" /> </blockquote>That diversity is emphasized in the Mangue manifesto. It is divided into three parts: "Mangue - the Concept", which talks about the biodiversity of the mangue swamps and its importance as an ecosystem to the people of Recife, "Manguetown-The City", which describes a bit of Recife's history and economic situation as being rated one of the worst cities in the world to live in, with a high rate of unemployment and a high rate of people living in slums, and "Mangue-The Scene", which introduces the Mangue movement as a way to inject energy back into the city of Recife and connect it to the circulation of music on a global scale. The named symbol for the movement is "a parabolic antenna put in the mud. Or a caranguejo [crab] remixing ANTHENA by Kraftwerk [a Euro-tech group] on the computer."<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|pages=231–233}}</ref> The idea of the manifesto was to parallel the biodiversity of the mangue to the cultural diversity within Recife and to resuscitate the music and cultural scene, by mixing elements of globally circulating music with elements of regional music.

As a result of the manifesto being published, in 1992 MTV visited Recife to interview both Chico Science and Fred 04. The resulting footage played on MTV in Brazil, in January 1993, causing Mangue to gain traction in the south of Brazil.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|title=Afropop Worldwide {{!}} Clever Crabs: Philip Galinsky on the Postmodernity of Mangue|url=https://afropop.org/articles/clever-crabs-philip-galinsky-on-the-postmodernity-of-mangue|access-date=2021-12-22|website=Afropop Worldwide|language=en}}</ref> That same year, Paulo Andre Pires launched the first Abril pro Rock festival in Recife featuring CSNZ and Mundo Livre S/A as well as Nacão Pernambuco, a maracatu band that was gaining attention and growing quickly in popularity.

Both bands toured in São Paulo and Minas Gerais and were picked up by record labels; CSNZ by Sony music, and Mundo Livre by Banguela, which was also the label that was producing music for band ''Titãs'', and both bands produced their first CDs by 1994.<ref name=":4" />
