Brazilian music group associated with the manguebeat movement, known for blending Pernambucan rhythms such as maracatu, coco, ciranda and forró.

Origin: Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. The album Fuá na casa de CaBRal was released in 1998.

Reviews emphasize Mestre Ambrosio's association with the manguebeat movement and their use of traditional Pernambucan rhythms. The 1998 album Fuá na casa de CaBRal is singled out as an accessible entry point. Critics note the movement's 1990s peak and its role in spreading regional culture nationally.

For:Fans of Brazilian regional music, world music listeners, those curious about manguebeat and Pernambuco's musical traditions.

 Let's first trace an approximate timeline of Brazilian music, starting with bossa nova, which developed between the fifties and sixties, moving through MPB (música popular brasileira) which reached its peak of creativity in the early seventies, to the rise of national rock in the eighties with bands like Titas, Barão Vermelho by Cazuza, and Legião Urbana, who drew inspiration from European and North American music, up to the nineties when the manguebeat movement exploded, represented mainly by Chico Science and Nação Zumbi and Mestre Ambrosio.
