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).
