Rogério Skylab

Skylab in 2021 Rogério Tolomei Teixeira (born September 2, 1956), known professionally as Rogério Skylab, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, lyricist, classical guitarist, poet, essayist, record producer, actor and former television presenter. Describing himself as a "corpse within MPB", his unique musical style which granted him a passionate cult following is characterized by minimalism, repetition and eclecticism, and his lyrics and poems are permeated by grotesque, shocking and offensive imagery; acerbic allusions to popular culture; metafictional devices; absurdist scenarios; pessimism; profanity; nihilism; and scatological and black comedy – although he denies that his work is purposefully humorous.

Some of his most recognizable compositions are "Matador de Passarinho" (which brought him into nationwide fame in the underground scene), "Motosserra", "Funérea", "Naquela Noite", "Carrocinha de Cachorro-Quente", "Dedo, Língua, Cu e Boceta", "Eu Chupo o Meu Pau", "Fátima Bernardes Experiência" and "Chico Xavier & Roberto Carlos" (the latter two being notable for having been censored from their original releases). Also dedicating himself to literature, he made his debut in 2006 with the poetry collection ''Debaixo das Rodas de um Automóvel'', which was followed by several other works of fiction and non-fiction alike.
