Archive material and source history
Oliveiro Ferreira and Obanizia Leite met as students at a Catholic seminary in Brazil. They formed their duo in 2002, with Oliveiro on guitar and vocals and Obanizia on keyboards and singing. Their music draws from traditional Catholic hymns while incorporating contemporary electronic elements.
Their 2005 album "Mensagem da Cruz" brought them wider recognition, with the title track becoming their most well-known song. They followed it with albums like "Terra Santa" in 2007 and "Luz do Mundo" in 2011.
