A Catholic priest from Brusque whose music grew from youth retreats into Brazilian worship staples.
For a sense of his style, 'Creio No Deus Do Impossível' and 'A Tempestade Vai Passar' frame it well, plainspoken faith, a bit of rhythm underneath.
His songs like 'Eu e Minha Casa Serviremos Ao Senhor' became fixtures in Brazilian worship through the 1990s and 2000s. They came directly from his work with youth retreats, starting with 'Deus Está Aqui Neste Momento' in the late 1980s. That grounding in community gatherings gives his music a lived-in feel, even when it sparked talk for adding dance to performances.
He entered the Congregation of the Holy Cross in 1973 and was ordained in 1984. The music started later, during youth retreats, and led to albums and concerts with artists like Roberto Carlos. He kept leading events with a band, focusing lyrics on faith.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
