Pe. André Luna is a Catholic priest from Brazil who began composing religious songs in the 1990s. He was born in Tarrafas in 1960 and was ordained in 1986. His music draws from biblical themes and Catholic teachings, with songs like 'Seu nome é Jesus Cristo' and 'Recado de Deus' among his most recognized work.
'Seu nome é Jesus Cristo' came out in 1995 and gained wide circulation, eventually being translated into multiple languages. The song's straightforward declaration of faith connected with many listeners, helping establish Luna as a familiar voice in contemporary Christian music circles in Brazil.
Luna's conservative stances on certain social issues have occasionally drawn criticism alongside his musical output. He continues to write and perform, with other songs like 'Abençoado Céu' and 'Cristo Amigo' remaining part of his repertoire.
