Marisa Monte
Artist Overview
In the 1990s, a resurgence of smart, tasteful, and artistically adventurous Brazilian pop hearkened to the bossa nova and tropicalia movements that had seduced the world several decades earlier, if not stylistically then in its reach and influence. One of the luminaries of that renaissance was Marisa Montes, whose gorgeous, classically trained vocals and guitar playing gave life to exciting collaborations with Carlinhos Brown (including TRIBALISTAS, the acclaimed 2002 album recorded with Brown and Arnaldo Antunes), Arto Lindsay, and other Brazilian musical stars. Combining samba, soul, reggae, bossa nova, and pure pop, Monte has crafted a unique take on Brazilian music that has resulted in several international hit recordings and a still thriving career.
