Yasmin formed as a Brazilian gospel trio with Patricia Cruz, Karen Silva, and Cristina Bentes. Their 2004 debut album 'Deus Meu Abrigo' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming a hit. The band's name comes from the Arabic word for jasmine, which they chose for its association with hope.
In 2008, Karen Silva left the group, leaving Patricia and Cristina to continue as a duo. Some listeners questioned their musical direction when they began incorporating more contemporary pop and R&B elements into their gospel foundation. They kept recording through the 2010s with albums like 'Novo Tempo' in 2016.
Their catalog includes songs like 'Ampulheta,' 'Areia,' and 'Finish Line.' The original members Patricia Cruz and Cristina Bentes have remained the consistent presence through the band's changes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
