Background notes
Archive material and source history
João Célio's debut album 'Aos Pés da Cruz' came out in 1995, with the title track becoming a significant song in Brazilian Christian music. He grew up in the countryside of Mato Grosso do Sul, where he learned guitar and accordion, drawing from the traditional music of that region.
His music often blends those Brazilian rhythms with Christian themes, as heard in songs like 'Espírito Santo' and 'Banquete de Campeão.' In 2005, he faced plagiarism accusations but successfully defended his work in court. He's also been known to speak out on social issues like corruption and inequality, which has drawn both support and criticism.
He performs with a band that includes Fábio Célio on electric guitar, Alex Mendes on bass, Mauricio Peres on drums, and Marcelo Oliveira on keyboards. Other songs in his catalog include 'É o apocalipse' and 'Deus vai falar.'
