Fausto Fawcett

One of the first to write rap songs in Brazil, Fausto Fawcett had success with his "Kátia Flávia" in the national radio, included in his first LP, Fausto Fawcett & Os Robôs Efêmeros (1987). The song was later included in Roman Polanski's film released in Brazil as Lua De Fel and also was re-recorded by Fernanda Abreu. Fawcett also wrote the hit "Rio 40 Graus," with Fernanda Abreu, recorded by her. Always exploring a chaotic urban setting where cybernetics coexist with Brazilian icons, like the obsession for women, Fawcett likes to explore his themes in a multimedia way, where his conceptual shows are complemented by the albums, books, and videos. 1989's O Império Dos Sentidos is even more sex-oriented. He released the book Santa Clara Poltergeist, which revealed the sex-symbol Regininha Poltergeist, the first one of a row of blondes which included Marinara and Cristina Azul. In 1993, he released Básico Instinto - Fausto Fawcett e Falange Moulin Rouge and, in 1999, staged the show Dallas Melrose. ~ Alvaro Neder, Rovi
