A Rio de Janeiro band that mixed faith, rock, and pop since 1998.
For their sound, try 'Bartimeu' or 'Mãos Limpas'. They're both straight to the point, which is where this band usually lived.
They took worship music somewhere brasher and more immediate than most Brazilian gospel acts were willing to go. Early albums like 'Engenho do Diabo' had a raw, energetic sound that felt grounded in street-level Rio. Songs like 'De Todo o Meu Coração' kept the pop hooks but never sanded down the edges of their conviction.
They formed in Rio in 1998 with Paulinho Makuko up front, and 'Eu Te Amo, Oh Deus' caught on fast. Their lineup held steady with keyboardist André Renato and bassist Elivelto Ribeiro, and they kept releasing albums that blended faith with rock, funk, and reggae. They worked with people as different as Aline Barros and Gilberto Gil.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
