An unexpected burst of beatboxing and dance by two Brazilian nuns on Catholic TV has captivated audiences far beyond church walls, CNN reported.
Sisters Marizele Cassiano and Marisa de Paula of the Copiosa Redenção congregation were discussing a religious retreat on Pai Eterno TV when the mood took a musical turn. Referencing a song about answering God’s call, the nuns stood up and performed an impromptu routine of singing, beatboxing, and dance.
Deacon Giovani Bastos, who was hosting the segment, enthusiastically joined in, mirroring their joyful energy. The clip has since gone viral, drawing widespread praise for its spontaneity and infectious positivity.
“It was very natural,” Sister Marizele told the AP. “We weren’t trying to go viral. We were just being ourselves. Sister Marisa loves to dance, and I love to beatbox—it came together in that moment.”
Their viral fame has drawn attention to their ministry, which supports young people struggling with addiction. Music, the sisters say, has been a bridge to healing. “These creative expressions are tools God uses to touch lives. It’s beautiful to witness,” said Sister Marizele.
While Sister Marisa remains offline, Sister Marizele’s Instagram has soared past 100,000 followers since the video’s release. Both women continue to lead retreats and inspire others through their vibrant expression of faith.
