The kitchen-sink approach of SummerStage veterans Nação Zumbi quickly puts paid to preconceptions that percussion-heavy samba and mellow bossa nova are all that Brazilian music has to offer. The Recife-based band interweaves traditional Northeastern rhythms — like maracatu and coco — with jazz, hip-hop, and rock to create a contagious mix known as "mangue beat."

The plot revolves around an unhappy middle-aged housewife, who gets a chance to relive her youth and change the story of her life in Rio's swinging '60s.
