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.

South American Way Lyrics
Marisa Monte
(Al Dubim - Jimmy McHugh)
Ai, ai, ai, ai
o canto do prigoneiro
Que com sua harmonia
Traz alegria
In South American Way
Ai, ai, ai, ai
E o que faz em seu tabuleiro
Vende pra ioi
E vende pra iai
In South American Way
E vende vatap
E vende caruru
E vende mungunz
Vende umbu
No tabuleiro tem
Oi tem de tudo tem
E s no tem meu bem
Berenguendem
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Have you ever danced in the tropics?
With that hazy lazy
Like, kind of crazy
Like South American Way
Ai, ai, ai, ai
Have you ever kissed in the moon light
In the grand and Glorious
Gay Notorious
South American Way
