Marisa Monte

I’m going to write about an important Brazilian music singer. Her name is Marisa Monte. She was born in 1967 in Rio de Janeiro. She studied piano when she was a child. When she was a teenager she started to sing and in 1985 she went to Italy to study classical music but she gave up and came back to Brazil and started to sing Brazilian songs with her friends doing shows. In one of the shows she was spotted by an important singer called Nelson Mota who turned into the director of her first show at JazzMania in 1987, Rio de Janeiro. The success came immediately, she had a big public and a lot of critics before her first album and she was considered a promise singer to the Brazilian popular music known as MPB.
In 1988 she did her first album, MM. The second one called More was a success, not just in Brazil but also in the EUA, Japan, Europe and Latin America. After that she became famous. Her third album was with a lot of famous people and then she started to make tours in Brazil and in all the world. She recorded five albums in fifteen years. Her trajectory was made beyond the contact with the public. Every album has a new song that is very different from the other and each one has a beautiful history with a lot of famous singers with her; it’s impossible to find someone who doesn’t like her.
