Brazilian Nuns Go Viral for Beatboxing on Catholic TV

Two Brazilian nuns, Sisters Marizele Cassiano and Marisa de Paula of the Copiosa Redenção congregation, went viral after spontaneously beatboxing and dancing during a discussion on Brazil's Pai Eterno TV channel. The impromptu performance, which included singing, beatboxing by Sister Marizele, and dancing by Sister Marisa, was joined by the show's presenter, Deacon Giovani Bastos, and has been viewed millions of times both in Brazil and internationally. The nuns emphasize that music is a powerful tool in their outreach work, especially in supporting young people struggling with drug addiction. Sister Marizele noted the moment was natural and surprising in its reach, with her social media following growing significantly as a result. In addition to their viral fame, the sisters also promote vocations and organize retreats for women interested in religious life. Their joyful and spontaneous performance highlights the unexpected ways faith and culture can connect with broader audiences.
