A Belo Horizonte band whose songs became part of parish life across Brazil.
For a sense of their straightforward devotional style, try "Eu Te Amo" or "Poder de Deus." They're the kind of songs you might still hear in a Brazilian Catholic gathering years later.
They came out of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the early 1990s, making music that gave Brazilian Catholics a contemporary way to express faith. Songs like "Deixa Deus Te Tocar" and "Doce Mel" became familiar in prayer groups and worship settings. Their recordings were translated into multiple languages, reaching listeners well beyond Brazil.
The group formed in Belo Horizonte with young musicians who wanted to create worship music together. Over time, their sound developed through various contributors, including founding member Father Fábio de Melo. While initially met with some skepticism in church circles, their songs found a steady audience in parishes and communities.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
