Marisa Monte

Musician

Brazilian singer known for interpretations within MPB, bossa nova and samba; recorded a live debut in 1989 and the studio album Mais (1991) produced by Arto Lindsay.

Discovered in Italy by producer Nelson Motta (per review). 'Mais' (1991) was produced by Arto Lindsay and features contributions noted in the review (Melvin Gibbs, Marc Ribot, Ryuichi Sakamoto, John Zorn, Naná Vasconcelos). Frequently performs interpretations of other composers' songs, drawing on bossa nova, tropicalismo and regional rhythms.

Two DeBaser reviews (both by macaco) praise Marisa Monte's vocal versatility and interpretive skill within MPB. Reviewers note her unusual live-album debut (1989) and the studio album Mais (1991) produced by Arto Lindsay with notable guest musicians. The writing highlights a blend of bossa nova, tropicalismo, samba and international covers.

For:Fans of MPB, bossa nova, samba, world-music listeners and curious newcomers to Brazilian popular music

 I would like to introduce you today to this great Brazilian performer, trying to do my best in an area not very familiar to me, that of pop music, or rather "MPB" (Brazilian popular music).
