A Brazilian Christian band known for reflective lyrics and collaborations that sometimes stir debate.
For a sense of their sound, try 'De Bem com a Vida' or 'A Melhor Saída', they're straightforward, melodic, and typical of how Raízes handles faith without grandstanding.
Raízes matters because they write songs like 'De Bem com a Vida' that feel personal, not preachy. Their music mixes Brazilian rhythms with pop-rock, and they've worked with artists from Xuxa to Djonga, even when it drew criticism from conservative listeners. That willingness to engage beyond their expected circle gives their faith-based lyrics a grounded, real-world texture.
The band formed in 2013 around Allan Matheus, Felipe Valente, and Guilherme Freire, releasing their debut 'Eis-me Aqui' in 2015. They've put out albums steadily since, like 'A Última Palavra' in 2017 and 'Milagre' in 2022, with the lineup expanding to include bass and drums. Their 2018 collaboration with rapper Djonga on 'Sobrevivi' and Matheus's 2021 support for LGBTQ+ rights marked shifts that broadened their audience while dividing some fans.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
