"Isn't there Mambo? Isn't there Calypso? Well, now there's Mangue!" This was how Chico Science christened the movement that got the country's feet out of the muck and instated chaos in Brazilian music. Four years after the death of the Mangue leader, TRIP publishes previously unreleased pictures and unknown stories of love, psychedelia, trips and musical discoveries by the greatest Brazilian artist of the past decade.
