Marisa Monte is a Brazilian popular singer, and one the biggest stars of contemporary MPB. She was born on July 1, 1967 in Rio de Janeiro. 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. While most of her music is in the style of modern MPB, she has also recorded traditional sambas and folklore tunes, and songs by Marvin Gaye and Lou Reed. Much of her work has been in collaboration with musicians/songwriters Carlinhos Brown, Arnaldo Antunes, and Nando Reis, and producer Arto Lindsay.

Ensaboa Lyrics
Marisa Monte
Cartola/Monsueto
Sabo pedacinho assim
olha gua um pinguinho assim
o tanque um tanquinho assim
a roupa um tanto assim
Ensaboa mulata ensaboa
ensaboa t ensaboando
t lavando a minha roupa
l em casa esto me chamando, dond
Ensaboa mulata ensaboa
ensaboa t ensaboando
trabalho um tanto assim
cansao bastante sim
a roupa um tanto assim
dinheiro um tiquinho assim
Ensaboa mulata ensaboa
ensaboa t ensaboando
everybody run, run, run
everybody scatter, scatter
some people lost some blood
someone nearly die
colonial mentality
eu no sou daqui
eu no tenho nada
tristeza no tem fim
a felicidade sim
meu corao a liberdade
they leave sorrow tears and blood
