Just back from hospital, YUK…. Injections in hand (not nice). Time for quick coffee and music before going into work. This is nice, makes me feel loads better and fit for work, a little info from from Wikipedia.
Marisa Monte
While classically trained in opera singing, she grew up surrounded by the sounds of the Portela samba school, and combines diverse influences into her music. After failing to break through 1980s Brazilian Pop rock she went to semi-exile in Italy. She became a hybrid of MPB diva and Pop rock performer. Most of her music is in the style of modern MPB, she has also recorded traditional samba and folk tunes, as well and songs performed by Marvin Gaye, Lou Reed and George Harrison. Much of her work has been in collaboration with musicians/songwriters Carlinhos Brown, and producer Arto Lindsay. Marisa Monte is unique as a Brazilian artist due to the fact that she owns the rights to all of her songs; it was the main demand to renew her contract with EMI Music.
Carlinhos Brown
(born Antonio Carlos Santos de Freitas on November 23, 1962) is a Brazilian musician from Salvador, Bahia. He was born in Candeal Pequeno, a small neighbourhood in the Brotas area of Salvador de Bahia (Brazil). In 1967 he was still a child when Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil (two 25 year old musicians from Bahia) started a movement that would radically change Brazilian and popular music:
I didn't know Carlinhos shared my birthday.
