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.

Lenda Das Sereias, Rainha Do Mar Lyrics
Marisa Monte
(Vicente - Dionel - Veloso)
Ogunt, Marab
Caiala, e sob
Oloxum, Yna
Janaina e, Yemanj
O mar misterioso mar
Que vem do horizonte
o bero das sereias
Lendrio e fascinante
Olha o canto da sereia
lala, oqu, ialo
Em noite de lua cheia
Ouo a sereia cantar
E o luar sorrindo
Ento se encanta
Com a doce melodia
Os madrigais vo despertar
Ela mora no mar
Ela brinca na areia
No balano das ondas
A paz ela semeia
E quem ?
Ogunt, marab
Caiala, e sob
Oloxum, Yna
Janaina, e Yemanj
Olha o canto da sereia
lala, oqu, ialo
Em noite de lua cheia
Ouo a sereia cantar
