Rogério Skylab & Orquestra Zé Felipe

Rogério Skylab & Orquestra Zé Felipe (Portuguese for "Rogério Skylab & the Zé Felipe Orchestra") is a collaborative album between Brazilian musicians Rogério Skylab and Zé Felipe, a former bassist of now-defunct experimental rock act Zumbi do Mato. Self-released in 2009, it is the second collaboration between Skylab and Felipe (the first being Skylab's 2007 release Skylab VII, in which Felipe co-authored a handful of songs).[1] Originally intended as a full-fledged collaboration between Skylab and Zumbi do Mato, after a series of creative divergences only Zé Felipe remained as collaborator.[2] The album could be downloaded for free on Skylab's official website until it was taken down for unknown reasons.[3]

In a Facebook post from October 22, 2015, Skylab announced that a second installment was on the works,[4] but no further news emerged since then.

"Tem Cigarro Aí?" would be re-recorded ten years later for Skylab's album Crítica da Faculdade do Cu; "Marcha Fúnebre" eleven years later for Cosmos; "A Gente Vai Ficar Surdo" thirteen years later for Caos e Cosmos, Vol. 2; and "Pas, Pes, Pis, Pos, Pus" fifteen years later for Trilogia do Fim, Vol. 1.
