From Wikipedia

Manguebeat, alternatively known as mangue beat or mangue bit, is a social and artistic movement with origins in northeastern Brazilian city Recife, Pernambuco in the early 1900s, in reaction to the economic and cultural stagnation of the capital.

Even though the movement has a strong focus on music, it also spans fashion, slang and visual art. Manguebeat compositions are known for their mix of regional rhythms, like maracatu, frevo, coco and forró, with international genres like rock, soul, raggamuffin, hip hop, funk and electronic music.
