A São Paulo group that blended worship music with rock and pop for decades.
For their sound, try 'Pra Lá de Bagdá'. For something a little different, 'Coração' or 'Insônia' show their range.
Herança took gospel out of strictly traditional settings in the 1980s, mixing it with accessible pop and rock sounds. Songs like 'Pra Lá de Bagdá' became Brazilian gospel staples, even as their style drew some criticism from purists. Their approach, using contemporary music to carry spiritual messages, opened doors for other artists in the genre.
They formed in São Paulo in the 1980s, with several members coming from the gospel group Coral Kemuel. Early singers included Marina de Oliveira and Aline Barros. They released their first album in 1985 and kept recording into the 2000s, marking their 20th anniversary with a release in 2006.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
