Two Brazilian nuns have become the virus after dropping an improvised beatbox and dance session on a Catholic TV show.
The sisters Marizele Cassiano and Marisa de Paula, members of the “Copiosa Redenção” congregation, were talking about a career retreat on the Pai Eterino – Eternal Father – TV channel in Brazil.
The duo rose to their feet and began a routine with singing, beatboxing and dancing moves.
Presenter Deacon Giovani Bastos then joined in and adapted to their movements with performances seen on social media by millions of people on social media in Brazil and abroad.
“The moment was very spontaneous. She dances when she starts to beat with her sister Marisa. And because I was used to singing, beatboxing, it was very simple for us, spontaneous, and it was very surprising to see that it became a virus outside of Brazil.”
The sisters are dedicated to young people suffering from drug addiction. They say music is a powerful tool to help people in need.
“Beatboxing, dance and song itself are the tools God uses to reach the hearts of those who work.
Sister Marisa doesn’t have an Instagram account, but the Marisel sisters have surpassed 100,000 followers since Beatbox went viral.
The sisters also work as professional promoters and organize retreats for women interested in pursuing a religious career.
