Sister Marizele’s beatboxing and Sister Marisa’s dance on Catholic TV transformed a faith segment into a moment that inspires youth.
Sister Marizele turned a quiet Catholic TV segment into a viral Hip-Hop moment when she dropped a beatbox rhythm while her fellow nun Sister Marisa de Paula danced beside her on Brazil’s Pai Eterno channel.
The impromptu performance, which aired in late May, featured the two Copiosa Redenção nuns and TV host Deacon Giovani Bastos during a segment about a vocational retreat.
What started as a discussion on faith and youth outreach quickly transformed into a musical showcase that blended beatboxing, singing and dance. The moment wasn’t planned. Sister Marizele, who often uses music in her ministry, began beatboxing mid-conversation.
Sister Marisa, who enjoys dancing, joined in without hesitation. Deacon Bastos followed their lead and the trio’s chemistry lit up the screen.
The clip went viral on social media, amassing millions of views and earning praise for the nuns’ innovative approach to connecting with young people.
Their goal, however, goes beyond entertainment. The sisters use music as a tool to reach youth facing drug addiction and to encourage religious vocations.
“We use music to reach hearts that might not be open to traditional preaching,” Sister Marizele said in a previous interview.
Their congregation, Copiosa Redenção, focuses on helping people overcome substance abuse and find purpose through faith.
The sisters say music helps break down barriers and build trust with those who feel alienated by conventional religious messaging.
