A priest from São José dos Campos whose songs blend Brazilian rhythms with spiritual themes.
For a sense of his style, try 'A rosa' or 'Oração de São Francisco' - they're straightforward, melodic, and feel lived-in.
He writes hymns like 'A rosa' and 'Hino do Terço Dos Homens' that draw from Brazilian rhythms, not just traditional church music. Some in the Church questioned a priest doing popular music, but he kept at it, using songs in settings from churches to hospitals. That gives his work a grounded, everyday feel you don't always get with religious music.
Born in 1964 and ordained in 1990, he started writing music while in seminary, and it became part of his parish work. He released albums like 'Cura, Senhor' in 2000 and 'Mensagem de Paz' in 2005, performing with a band that includes Paulo César on bass and Walmir Borges on drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
