4x1 formed in Fortaleza, Brazil in the mid-1990s with Guilherme de Sá, Eraldo Bernardino, Fábio Aposan, and Alex Gonzaga. They started playing Christian music with a contemporary sound that some in their community found unfamiliar at first. Their 2002 debut album 'Vim Para Adorar-Te' gave them a breakthrough, with the title track becoming widely known in Brazilian worship circles.
That song 'Vim Para Adorar-Te' and others like 'Eu Tenho Um Chamado' and 'Adorar a Deus' have been sung in churches for years. The band recorded several albums including 'Deus Reina' in 2004 and 'Ao Vivo no Maracanã' in 2006. Their music tends toward straightforward worship themes with accessible melodies.
Some conservative Christian listeners have questioned whether their style leans too secular, but the group has kept making music in their approach. They've continued releasing albums like 'Gratidão' in 2013 and 'Renovados' in 2019, maintaining a presence in Brazilian Christian music without much fanfare.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
