A Great Noise

Performer: Marisa Monte
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

JazzTimes (6/97, p.101) - "a sleekly-yet-artfully tailored package of Brazilian pop that taps into that culture's heritage and makes an attractive noise....This is music that goes down easily, in keeping with Monte's understated vocal graces." The Beat (V.16 #2 1997, p.68) - "One of the best of Brazil's new singers, Marisa Monte, refuses to take the easy road to stardom....Her attempts at making edgier music are laudable....Monte's fans...will find plenty to enjoy...here..."

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.
