Da Lama ao Caos ( transl. From Mud to Chaos) is the debut album by the Brazilian band Chico Science & Nação Zumbi. Released in 1994, the album presents a fusion of funk rock and maracatu and contributed for spreading the music of Pernambuco around the world. Da Lama ao Caos is considered the manifesto of the Manguebeat movement. [2]
It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 100 best Brazilian albums in history (13th position). [3] The magazine also voted its title track as the 22nd greatest Brazilian song. [4]
Cover
The album cover, conceived by director Hilton Lacerda, is a collage of images that appear to be "pixilated", with each pixel being a different collage. [5] The back cover is picture of a crab's claw, purportedly zoomed-in so it becomes pixilated and it becomes clear that the image had been developed with a computer. [5]
The first version of the artwork was in black-and-white with some blue shades, but the label refused it, demanding more colors, and that's how the final version was born. [5]
