A Catholic musical group that blended traditional Brazilian rhythms with religious lyrics for decades.
For a sense of their sound, try 'Vigia Esperando a Aurora' from 1980. 'Porque Deus é grande' gives you the straightforward religious focus that defined their work.
The ensemble's 1980 song 'Vigia Esperando a Aurora' became one of their most recognized pieces, a ballad about spiritual anticipation that resonated with many listeners. Their music maintained a consistent presence in Brazilian Catholic circles through several decades, with songs like 'Porque Deus é grande' and 'Quero E Preciso' continuing their focus on religious themes set to accessible music.
Monsenhor Jonas Abib formed the musical ensemble in 1973. Their discography includes albums like 'Caminhada' from 1976, 'Mensagem de Paz' from 1990, and 'Esperança Viva' from 2010.
