Netflix’s 'Latin Blood', The Ballad of Ney Matogrosso is a fierce, vibrant biopic honoring one of Brazil’s most legendary and provocative performers. Directed by Esmir Filho, the film follows Ney’s evolution from a shy, repressed boy into a musical and cultural icon who defied the norms of gender, sexuality, and artistic expression.
Ney Matogrosso rose to fame in the 1970's as the flamboyant frontman of the glam rock band Secos & Molhados. With his high pitched voice, theatrical costumes and unapologetic queerness, he shocked a conservative Brazil under military dictatorship and inspired generations to live boldly.
Jesuíta Barbosa gives a powerful performance, capturing Ney’s magnetic stage presence and the emotional complexity behind it. Rich in music, emotion, and visual flair, Latin Blood is not just a tribute, it’s a statement.
🎤 A must watch for music lovers, queer icons and anyone drawn to stories of fearless transformation.
📺 Now streaming on Netflix.
