Eleven young artists from all over Brazil recently met in a studio in the mountains of Minas Gerais to record the 2023 youth album in Portuguese.
On December 31, the Church’s youth YouTube channel in Brazil — Jovens da Igreja de Jesus Cristo — premiered a one-hour special in Portuguese called “Som das Montanhas” (“The Sound of the Mountains”) to release the album.
The video takes viewers behind the scenes as the singers arrive in Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais, many of whom are meeting each other for the first time. They hang out together in the recording studio and attend a painting class in the historic town of Ouro Preto. The video then shows individual interviews with each of the singers prior to the recording of their song.
“Som das Montanhas” includes 11 songs in Portuguese.
Joao Daniel, a native of Minas Gerais, performs “Posso Tudo Em Cristo” (“I Can Do All Things Through Christ”) and “Fé” (“Faith”) on the album. He said in a post on the Brazil Area Newsroom Facebook page: “Studio time is sacred to us. There are moments of friendship, of personal connection with the message, with the music, with the Holy Spirit in whom I believe and seek, and with the hearts of those who will listen.
“I loved meeting people I didn’t know and seeing my musical friends. Music has this power to break the barrier of time and space, making all this musically stored energy reach the hearts of thousands of people, bringing us closer and uniting us.”
The cover of the new album was chosen through a contest advertised on the Jovens da Igreja de Jesus Cristo Instagram account. Young people from all parts of Brazil submitted their art inspired by the theme of “faith”, which is also the name of the music sung by Daniel on the new album.
About the song “Faith”, Daniel said: “I really enjoyed recording this song. That day I felt the urge to share with my friends what I felt while recording and my feelings about the message of this song. And I did, and it was a very memorable moment for me.”
Find “Som das Montanhas” and individual videos for each of the 11 songs in Portuguese on the Youth of the Church of Jesus Christ Youtube channel.
