A Catholic priest from Pernambuco who writes songs blending Brazilian rhythms with religious devotion.
For a sense of his style, try 'Quão Grande és Tu' or 'Troque o Ódio Pelo Amor' from his top songs. They're typical of his straightforward approach to devotion.
He works with a steady band including guitarist Emerson Pinheiro, and tracks like 'Um Certo Galileu' stick to traditional religious narratives without much fuss. It's plainspoken faith set to local rhythms, which has drawn both appreciation and criticism over the years.
He started writing songs while studying theology, putting out his first album 'Sem Ti Eu Nada Sou' in 2009. Since then, he's kept releasing albums roughly every couple of years, like 'Maria, Minha Mãe' in 2011 and 'Amor Que Venceu' in 2017.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
