O Rio
Marisa Monte Lyrics

Ouve o barulho do rio, meu filho
Deixa esse som te embalar
As folhas que caem no rio, meu filho
Terminam nas águas do mar

Quando amanhã por acaso faltar
Uma alegria no seu coração
Lembra do som dessas águas de lá
Faz desse rio a sua oração

Lembra, meu filho, passou, passará
Essa certeza, a ciência nos dá
Que vai chover quando o sol se cansar
Para que flores não faltem
Para que flores não faltem jamais

She débuted with the album "Marisa Monte" (1988, World Pacific) and her latest is the single "Ainda Bem" (Sep 2011, EMI Brazil).

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, including: Carlinhos Brown, Arnaldo Antunes, Nando Reis and producer / guitarist Arto Lindsay. She has worked other non-Brazilian artists, including Laurie Anderson and 坂本龍一.

She formed Tribalistas, with Brown and Antunes, which released a single eponymous album in 2002, a beautiful mix of the various brazilian musical traditions, with a touch of pop.
