Marisa Monte está lançando seu oitavo álbum, O Que Você Quer Saber de Verdade , cheio de parcerias e participações especiais. Rodrigo Amarante é um dos convidados e não é para ser companheiro de valsa da cantora como o "Spider" Anderson Silva no clipe de Ainda Bem . Rodrigo e Marisa gravaram a faixa O Que Se Quer , um xotezinho romântico e gostoso onde eles vão falando sobre se entregar, afinal "a vida é um dia sem culpa". Enquanto Rodrigo deixa seu projeto solo para 2012 , vale [...]

Stumbling on the internet, I found my way to this little treasure; the Bossa Nova playlist which has now become the soundtrack to my summer. Each of the songs embody the smooth, exotic, Brazilian sound that belongs exclusively to Bossa Nova (which, if you didn't know, is a type of Brazilian music that sounds very similar to Jazz) and each is amazingly wonderful. While it's a little different than what I, or the other writers, usually post, it's worth the download if you're not one of those people that stick to one genre and you like to experiment [...]
What's the genius thing about covers? Probably how much perspective can change something. Make it new. As Picasso may or may not have said: "Good artists borrow. Great artists steal." Today's steal is the impeccable and blissfully understated "Pale Blue Eyes" by seminal art/garage/rock band The Velvet Underground. What's enthralling about these covers is how beautiful their voices are, from Marisa Monte's crystalline rendition to Patti Smith's bellow and we're including some vintage and looks to be pretty rare REM footage. Enjoy. The Velvet [...]

Marisa Monte - Ao meu redor
Filed under: Around the World Spinner.com : Suppose the Beatles had introduced themselves to the world with the so-called White Album -- essentially solo material with the group backing each member in turn. Or perhaps if the first time we'd experienced Kiss was with the four solo albums the... Read more

Marisa Monte is one of the main exponents of MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira), Brazilian pop you could say. Though it takes only a second to realize MPB is nothing like the mainstream trash we get served up North: Marisa specializes in intimate, melancholic songs, with a typical pop/rock structure but still relying heavily on Brazilian influences like samba and bossa nova. Marisa was trained to be an opera diva, but singing her favorite Brazilian tunes in Italian bars is what led to her discovery. She sold 9 million copies of 8 different albums, and worked with almost [...]
Brazil is a country with two distinct musical sides. First, there's the elegantly sensual Brazil of samba and Getz/Gilberto. As easy to love as this is, the lazy-day saxophone and breathy vocals of "The Girl From Ipanema" are practically...
