Marisa Monte

Macau Cultural Centre

June 5, 8pm

Brazilian Marisa Monte makes a rare Asian appearance next month in Macau, and it's an excursion worth making to hear one of the world's finest and most distinctive voices.

'It's like the wind: soft, gentle, and caressing, but it messes with everything in its path,' said The New York Times' critic Larry Rohter.

Monte, a multiple Latin Grammy winner, is an accomplished songwriter, producer and musician. She plays more than a dozen instruments, from bass guitar to ukulele and viola, and has sold more than nine million albums.

The 39-year-old has collaborated with international artists such as David Byrne, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Philip Glass.
