Quirino Filho came from a family in northeast Brazil where he grew up hearing traditional hymns and folk melodies. He started writing songs early on, and in the early 1980s, producer Paulo César Baruk noticed his vocal ability and lyrics. They worked together on his debut album, 'Em Tua Palavra Eu Caminharei,' which came out in 1982.
The title track 'Em Tua Palavra Eu Caminharei' became a staple in Brazilian gospel circles. Its straightforward lyrics about faith connected with listeners, and it eventually got translated into other languages. Another song people know is 'O Bafômetro.'
He put out several albums through the 1980s and 1990s, like 'Amanhecer' in 1984 and 'Celebrando a Vida' in 1994. Some of his family members have played in his band, including Lucas Quirino on guitar and Marcos Quirino on bass.
