Editor's note

Ney Matogrosso, Brazil's androgynous rock voice

The former Secos & Molhados frontman became a solo artist known for emotional delivery and gender fluidity.

For a quick sense of his style, try 'Metamorfose Ambulante' or 'Rosa de Hiroshima'. They capture that mix of rock energy and emotional delivery he's known for.

He first caught attention in the 1970s with Secos & Molhados, then built a solo career that made him a significant figure in Brazilian music. Songs like 'Metamorfose Ambulante' and 'Rosa de Hiroshima' show his emotional range and willingness to explore different styles. His androgynous appearance and openness about gender fluidity resonated deeply, especially within LGBTQ+ communities in Brazil.

After Secos & Molhados dissolved, he released solo albums starting with 'Ave, Ney' in 1979. He's worked with artists like Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento over more than twenty studio albums. Tracks such as 'Sangue Latino' and 'Homem Com H' reflect his shifts across rock and other Brazilian styles.
