Chico Science & Nação Zumbi

Chico Science & Nação Zumbi (CSNZ) was the former name of the Brazilian rock band led by Chico Science prior to his death on February 2, 1997. The remaining musicians continued on under the name Nação Zumbi.

CSNZ released two albums by the time of Chico's death, Da Lama ao Caos ("From Mud to Chaos") in 1994 and Afrociberdelia in 1996. Both were critically acclaimed.
