Born in Rio de Janeiro, Marisa Monte showed an early interest in music, listening to Maria Callas and Billie Holiday as well as Cármen Miranda and Brazilian music.
In his first performance at Jazzmania, in Rio de Janeiro, in September 1987, the repercussion was enormous. A new sensation in the Brazilian music scene was found. She quickly became known to both the young rock audience and the more adult jazz and MPB audience. ‘MM‘ (1989), the first album, featured samba, jazz, black music, blues, soul, bossa nova, and rock. The release of her second album ‘Mais‘ (1991), with her first partnerships with Nando Reis and Arnaldo Antunes, revealed Marisa Monte as a composer with a very unique style, which reflected her multiple musical influences. Since then, the successes have followed one another, thanks to classic albums such as ‘Barulhinho Bom’, ‘Memórias, Crônicas, e Declarações de Amor’, ‘Infinito Particular’ and ‘Universo ao Meu Redor’, records that confirmed Marisa as one of the biggest, most cherished and most respected names in Brazilian music.
