Thiago e Laodicéia

Thiago e Laodicéia came out of São Paulo with a sound that worked in contemporary Christian music circles. Their song "Ditosa Cidade" became particularly well-known, carrying a hopeful tone that resonated with listeners. They also recorded tracks like "Porque ele vive" and "A Trombeta vai tocar," which fit within that same spiritual vein.

Thiago handled the lead vocals, while Laodicéia provided bass and harmonies. Their debut album was called "Toque no Céu," and they followed it with others including "Tudo Passará" and "Consagração." The music wasn't always straightforward for some conservative critics, who sometimes found the lyrics a bit abstract, but the pair generally kept to their own approach.
