About Sabotage

Mauro Mateus dos Santos (São Paulo, April 3, 1973 – São Paulo, January 24, 2003), better known by his stage name Sabotage, was a Brazilian rapper, singer, songwriter and actor. Mauro, father of 2 children, was born in the South Zone of São Paulo, where, after having been a robber and traffic manager, he found his way out in rap, entering music and realizing his true gift.
