Editor's note

Mara Maravilha, from children's choir to Brazilian pop

A singer whose 1991 hit 'Deus de Maravilhas' anchored a career mixing faith and lighthearted pop.

For a sense of her range, try 'O Que Eu Vou Ser Quando Crescer' next to something like 'Pai Nosso'. Both feel like her.

Her 1991 single 'Deus de Maravilhas' was a major hit in Brazil, and she kept that momentum with songs like 'O Que Eu Vou Ser Quando Crescer'. The music often carries religious themes, with 'Pai Nosso' and 'Jesus Cristo' appearing alongside more general pop material. She worked with musicians like Paulo Cesar on keyboards and Marcelo Gonçalves on guitar.

She started singing in the 1980s with the children's choir Turma do Balão Mágico before going solo in 1987. Her 1991 hit established her as a popular figure, and she continued releasing music into the 2000s and 2010s, including an album called 'Mara Maravilha 30 Anos' in 2017.
