Sagrado Coracao da Terra

**Sagrado Coração da Terra** is a Brazilian progressive rock band that’s been crafting lush, spiritually charged music since the 1980s. Founded by composer and multi-instrumentalist Marcus Viana, the band blends symphonic rock with classical influences, traditional Brazilian rhythms, and poetic Portuguese lyrics that explore themes of nature, spirituality, and human connection. Their sound—often described as cinematic and atmospheric—features soaring vocals, intricate arrangements, and Viana’s virtuosic violin work, creating a vibe that’s both epic and introspective.

Over the decades, they’ve released albums like *Farol da Liberdade* and *Grande Espírito*, with recent live recordings like *Manhã Dos 33 (Ao Vivo)* showcasing their enduring energy. Tracks like *Debaixo do Sol* and *A Leste do Sol, Oeste da Lua* highlight their knack for merging prog-rock complexity with accessible melodies. Though they’ve flown under the global radar, Sagrado Coração da Terra remains a cult favorite for fans of genre-defying music rooted in Brazil’s rich cultural tapestry.
