MAZDA MX5 & MX6

Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um

Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um

When it comes to Mazda commercials, it has to be this song, right? Various covers of this track have been used in Mazda ads over the years.

The original song is titled “Zum Zum Zum Capoeira Mata Um,” and it’s actually about capoeira.

The original has a much more relaxed tempo than the version used in the commercials.

Also, in the ads it’s sung as “Zoom Zoom Zoom,” so there are a few differences from the original.

The sound and rhythm are so catchy you can’t help but hum along!
