A group of priests whose songs like 'Céu Na Terra' became staples of Brazilian Catholic worship.
For a sense of their sound, 'Céu Na Terra' and 'Aviva Tua Obra' frame it well, one a later worship staple, the other an early, persistent favorite.
Sacerdotes da Adoração started as a handful of priests in the Charismatic Renewal movement, putting simple, direct worship into song. Tracks like 'Não Abandonarei o Meu Chamado' and 'Aviva Tua Obra' spread widely in Brazilian churches, even as some debated whether priests should be recording artists. Their music, including later songs such as 'Céu Na Terra,' has stuck around in the liturgy for decades.
They formed in 1981 with priests like Father Zezinho and Father Jonas Abib, releasing early albums 'Louvores Iluminados' and 'A Festa da Vida.' The lineup shifted over the years, with current members including Father Fábio de Melo and Father Marcelo Rossi, and they kept recording through the 1990s with albums like 'O Canto dos Sacerdotes.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
