Carlos Meneleu

Carlos Meneleu is a Brazilian gospel singer who started putting out music in the late 1990s. His song "O Socorro Vem do Alto" became a breakout hit around 2003, and he's kept recording since then with albums like "Além do Horizonte" in 2006 and "Para Sempre" in 2015.

His music works with gospel themes but pulls in some pop and Brazilian rhythms. Songs like "Primeiro Amor" and "Alegre Sou" have straightforward lyrics about faith and hope, delivered with a soulful vocal style that connected with listeners in Brazil.

He's had some commercial success with his records, and he's performed internationally. The existing write-up mentions he's been outspoken on social issues at times, but mostly his catalog stays focused on uplifting material. He works with a regular band, and titles like "Abençoando Com Louvor" and "Aleluia" give a clear sense of what he's doing.
