Papa Francisco is a band from Buenos Aires that plays rock with reggae and Latin rhythms. Their song "Wake Up!" became a call-to-action anthem that reached listeners internationally. They also recorded "Santa Famiglia Di Nazareth."
The band took its name around the time Pope Francis was elected, which drew some criticism. They said it was meant as a tribute to his messages about hope and justice. Their first album, "Despertar," came out in 2014.
Nahuel Pennisi sings and plays guitar, Juan Manuel Godoy plays bass, Daniel Ariel Píccolo is on drums, and Fabián Quinteros plays saxophone. Their lyrics often touch on social issues, and their live shows sometimes highlight those themes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
