Morten Mabunda Lindberg (23 September 1965 â€" 26 March 2019), also
known as "Master Fatman", was a Danish media personality and creative
persona with a most diverse engagement, including comedian, performer,
disc jockey, host, musician, singer, film maker, actor, and
benefactor. In 2010, Lindberg married Herminia Mabunda from Mozambique
and adopted her surname. He had five children.Lindberg died
unexpectedly on 26 March 2019, aged 53.Lindberg was involved with
underground performance art and entertainment for many years. His
stage name "Master Fatman" was first chosen during a performance of
his in March 1987, attempting to channel and incarnate Liberace's soul
into his body. Lindberg used other stage names and alter egos, but
Master Fatman eventually emerged as the most popular one.Lindberg had
a very broad range of interests and engaged with magazine writing,
publishing and editing, theatre, film, tv, radio and music, usually
with a good deal of humour and subtle irony, but also out of genuine
artistic interest and curiosity, and an urge for creative expression.
In the early 1990s, he took up an interest in acting and film making,
and among his first engagements was the lowbudget short film
Gayniggers from Outer Space, which later obtained a cult status. This
was the first and only time Lindberg tried his hands with film
directing, but he continued his film interest with acting roles and
writing. In 1993, after travelling in India, Lindberg started the
political party "Det Kosmiske Parti" (The Cosmic Party) and
participated in the Copenhagen municipal elections as the love
preaching self-styled guru Tykmesteren the following year, another
stage name of his. Although close to being elected, he didn't make it,
but kept evolving the cosmic guru role and was associated with it ever
after. Through the later half of the 1990s and early 2000s, he edited
and wrote for the underground magazine "Magasin Schäfer" along with
Danish writers Martin Kongstad and Henrik List.
