Sabotage

   Born Mauro Mateus dos Santos in the favelas of Sao Paolo, Brazil, Sabotage's fame was solidified by his performance in Brazilian film "O Invasor."  Not only did the critically acclaimed movie feature him in both a starring acting role and recording artist on it's soundtrack, but some have held the film holds a certain irony considering the Rapper's fate.

Featured on many albums from 1994's "Transfusion" compilation to Instituto's "National Collective" in 2004, Sabotage released his debut solo album in 1999 titled "Concrete". Among his more reknownwed guest appearances was his cover of Public Enemy's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos", on Sepultura's "Revolusongs" EP.

At the time of his death, he was preparing material for a 3rd solo album and a trip to the World Social Forum, in Porto Alegre, in protest of global corporatization.

Mr Santos, aka Sabotage, was fatally shot numerous times about the face and chest in the early hours of January 24 2003 as he returned from dropping his wife at work.  He is survived by said wife and three children.
