A Cidade Part 1

In this lesson, you will learn lyrics from the song "A Cidade" (The City) by Chico Science and Nação Zumbi.  Chico Science was born Francisco de Assis França in the state of Pernambuco in Brazil's Northeast, as a little boy he would sell crabs that he caught himself in the city's mangrove swamps.

He became the lead singer of the groundbreaking band called Chico Science & Nação Zumbi (CSNZ). 


Chico's genius was to celebrate the rich and fascinating local culture of his home state of Pernambuco and fused it with all the modern global trends of the 1990s - Computers, Mud, Misery, Cyberspace, Hip Hop and roots music co-existed peacefully in Chico's world.

The song, "A Cidade" is from their first album "Da Lama Ao Caos," and encapsulates the spirit of the Mangue bit movement.  In this unit, you will learn the chorus to this song.
