Ney Matogrosso
Ney Matogrosso is a legendary Brazilian singer and performer known for his androgynous style, theatrical stage presence, and unmistakable countertenor voice. Born in 1941 as Ney de Souza Pereira, he rose to fame in the 1970s as the frontman of the glam-rock band Secos & Molhados, whose bold aesthetic and subversive lyrics challenged societal norms during Brazil’s military dictatorship. After the group split, Matogrosso launched a wildly successful solo career, blending MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), rock, and avant-garde influences while becoming an icon of queer expression in Brazilian culture.
Decades into his career, he continues to reinvent himself, as seen in recent releases like *Pátria Gentil* (2020) and *Canções Para Um Novo Mundo* (2023), which mix political commentary with his signature dramatic flair. His collaborations, including *Sangue Latino* with fellow artists, highlight his enduring relevance. Beyond music, Matogrosso remains a symbol of artistic fearlessness, unapologetically merging cabaret, drag, and social critique into a career that’s as colorful as his stage costumes.
