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.

Panis Et Circenses Lyrics
Marisa Monte
Eu quis cantar
Minha cano iluminada de sol
Soltei os panos sobre os mastros no ar
Soltei os tigres e lees nos quintais
Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar
So ocupadas em nascer e morrer
Mandei fazer
De puro ao luminoso punhal
Para matar o meu amor e matei
s 5 horas na Avenida Central
Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar
So ocupadas em nascer e morrer
Mandei plantar
Folhas de sonho no jardim do solar
As folhas sabem procurar pelo sol
E as razes, procurar, procurar
Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar
Essas pessoas da sala de jantar
So as pessoas da sala de jantar
Essas pessoas da sala de jantar
So ocupadas em nascer e morrer
