A Campina Grande group that mixed local sounds with gospel themes in the 1980s.
For a sense of their sound, start with 'Nasceu o Salvador' and 'Festa na Estrebaria.' They're straightforward, melodic, and built to be sung along to.
They took Brazilian rhythms and put them to work on songs like 'Nasceu o Salvador,' which became a staple in churches across the country. Their approach, pop structures with religious lyrics, drew some criticism at the time, but it also made the music stick. You can still hear 'Pequena Belém' and other Christmas tunes in gatherings decades later.
They formed in Campina Grande in 1977 and released their debut album in 1983. Printy left the group in 1992, but their songs kept circulating in Christian circles long after.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
