Two Brazilian nuns have taken the internet by storm after an impromptu beatboxing and dance session during a live television program. Sisters Marizele Cassiano and Marisa de Paula, members of the “Copiosa Redenção” congregation, appeared on Brazil’s Pai Eterno — Eternal Father — TV channel to discuss a vocational retreat when they suddenly broke into song and beatboxing.
The performance, which included singing and dance moves, was met with surprise and delight by the presenter, Deacon Giovani Bastos. The sisters claim that music has been an effective tool in helping young people struggling with drug addiction, and their viral video is proof of its power.
Sister Marizele Cassiano expressed her surprise at the performance’s success, saying “It was very spontaneous… we just started beatboxing and Sister Marisa would dance. It went viral even outside Brazil!” The sisters work as vocation promoters, organizing retreats for women interested in pursuing a religious career.
Since their appearance on TV, Sister Marizele has gained over 100,000 followers on social media, with her beatboxing skills taking center stage. The Sisters’ message of the power of music to reach hearts and minds is one that resonates with audiences around the world.
