Chico Science/Zumbi reminds me of Fela Kuti and just makes me want to listen to the latter instead. Apparently they were part of a scene called manguebeat which RYM defines as "Counterculture fusion of traditional Brazilian genres with modern rock and hip hop". FWIW I consider this album by Mundo Livre S/A to be a far more engaging example of the subgenre (killer fusion of US 90's alternative rock and traditional Brazilian music): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lBAmQqzpdTMtQq_RaLeViCS7WyURLTbxQ
My spins:
4.5 stars:
Freddie King - Getting Ready...
4 stars:
Los Hermanos - Ventura (best Brazilian slab I've found in awhile, sorta of a early 00's equivalent of the Mundo Livre album, FWIW they're sometimes called the Brazilian Strokes but I don't know The Strokes so not sure how accurate that is)
Malo - s/t (Jorge Santana's band- highly recommended to all Santana fans, like a continuation of the first 3 albums but with more of a prog/fusion vibe and you've probably heard "Suavecito" without realizing who it was)
