A worship band that has built a catalog around the psalms since the mid-1990s.
For a sense of their sound, 'Escolha a Vida' and 'Fogo Suave' are good places to start. They frame the group's approach, rooted in faith, but with a warmth that's kept them going.
They've carved out a space in Brazilian gospel music by setting psalms to music, often with a contemporary feel. Songs like 'Escolha a Vida' show how they blend traditional faith with accessible arrangements. Their work has earned nods like a Dove Award and Latin Grammy nominations, but it's really about the steady, psalm-centered recordings they've kept up for decades.
O Salmista started in São Paulo in the mid-1990s, releasing a self-titled debut in 1995. They've maintained a consistent lineup with Leonardo Gonçalves on vocals, and albums like 'Alegrai-vos no Senhor' and 'Deus É Fiel' have followed that initial blend of hymns and modern worship.
