A São Paulo musician whose version of "Hino 596 Da Harpa Cristã - Gratidão" found a particular audience.
For a sense of his sound, start with "Hino 596 Da Harpa Cristã - Gratidão." The later song "Recomeçar" tells a different story.
He's one of the few gospel artists in Brazil who built a catalog around the cavaquinho, that small four-stringed instrument you hear in samba and choro. Songs like "Hino 596 Da Harpa Cristã - Gratidão" became staples in certain Christian circles, and even a track like "Pega Essa Varoa (Farinha Na Panela)" shows how he worked traditional rhythms into worship music. His 2005 album "Recomeçar" and its title track became part of a plagiarism dispute that followed his later career.
He first appeared on the 1994 album "Deus É a Força" with Ministério de Louvor. After building a catalog of gospel cavaquinho songs through the late 90s and early 2000s, the 2005 "Recomeçar" album and its accusations marked a shift, and he performed with less visibility afterward.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
