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.

Negro Gato Lyrics
Marisa Monte
(Getlio Cortes)
Eu sou um Negro Gato
de arrepiar
Essa minha histria mesmo
de amargar
S mesmo de um telhado
aos outros desacato
Eu sou um Negro Gato
Minha triste histria
vou Ihes contar
e depois de ouvi-la
sei que vo chorar
H tempos que eu no sei
o que um bom prato
Eu sou um Negro Gato
Sete vidas tenho para viver
sete chances tenho para vencer
mas se no comer
acabo num buraco
Eu sou um Negro Gato
Um dia l no morro
pobre de mim
queriam minha pele para tamborim
apavorado desapareci no mato
Eu sou um Negro Gato
