Event Type

Brazilian vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Marisa Monte is widely considered the greatest singer of her generation. Her expressive, operatically-trained alto delivery weds samba and MPB to jazz and pop, funk, soul, and more.

The arrival of her 1991 studio debut Mais was followed by 1994’s Verde, Anil, Amarelo, Cor de Rosa e Carvão, the album that established her globally.

She fostered creative partnerships on these albums with writers/producers including Arto Lindsay, Arnaldo Antunes, Nando Reis, and Carlinhos Brown, which became lasting. 2000’s Memórias, Crônicas, e Declaracões de Amor netted her the first of four Latin Grammys. 2002’s collaborative Tribalistas with Antunes and Brown sold well over two million copies.

In 2006 she released two albums simultaneously: Universo Ao Meu Redor was born of her deep research into the localized Carioca samba, while Infinito Particular offered modern originals. 2011’s O Que Você Quer Saber de Verdade was recorded in Brazil and the U.S. Monte co-produced it with longtime associate Dadi, and enlisted a cast of first call studio musicians. 2017 saw a self-titled reunion album from Tribalistas. Launched with a Facebook broadcast, it was watched simultaneously by six million fans across 52 countries.

In 2021, Monte issued Portas for Sony, her first studio outing in a decade. Recorded across four countries during the pandemic, the 16-song set was packed with songwriting and production collaborations from her many long-term associates and a few new collaborators; it was released on the evening of her 54th birthday.
