Brazilian nuns go viral after beatboxing on Catholic TV
Two Brazilian nuns have gone viral after dropping an impromptu beatbox and dance session during a Catholic television program.
Sisters Marizele Cassiano and Marisa de Paula, members of the 'Copiosa Redenção' congregation, were talking about a vocational retreat on Brazil's Pai Eterno — Eternal Father — TV channel when they brought up a song about being called to the religious life.
The duo stood up and launched into a routine complete with singing, beatbox and dance moves.
Then the presenter, Deacon Giovani Bastos, joined in, matching their moves in a performance that's now been seen by millions on social media in Brazil and abroad.
'That moment was very spontaneous, because with Sister Marisa, if you start a beat, she will dance. And I'm used to singing, to beatboxing, so for us it was very simple, spontaneous and at the same time very surprising to see that it went viral even outside Brazil,' Sister Marizele told The Associated Press.
The Sisters are dedicated to young people who are struggling with drug addiction. They say music has been a powerful tool to help those in need.
'Beatboxing, dancing, and the songs itself, are tools that God uses to reach the hearts of the people we work with. And it works! It's beautiful to see,' said Sister Marizele.
While Sister Marisa has no Instagram account, Sister Marizele has surpassed 100,000 followers since her beatboxing went viral.
The sisters also work as vocation promoters, organizing retreats for women interested in pursuing a religious career.

Matheus Cunha called up for Brazil, ex-teammate praises him 🎥
Manchester seems to be the next destination in the career of striker Matheus Cunha, with several journalists confirming that United will sign him from Wolverhampton. But an important part of the journey to Old Trafford, including appearances for the Brazilian National Team, took place in the city of Leipzig, where the striker played for about a year and a half. Advertisement Wearing the German club's shirt, Cunha scored a stunning goal that was nominated for the Puskas Award in 2019 (watch below) and left fond memories among his teammates. "Great things are coming for him," said goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi of RB Leipzig in an interview with OneFootball during the team's visit to São Paulo for a friendly against Santos. One of these big moments could, who knows, be with the Brazil shirt, since the 26-year-old striker was included in Carlo Ancelotti's first call-up list as coach of the national team. Check out below how Gulacsi describes Matheus Cunha on and off the field: Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Rihanna Earns Her First New Hit In Almost A Decade On One Chart
Rihanna's 'A Friend of Mine' debuts at No. 19 on the U.K.'s Official Dance Singles chart, marking ... More her first new dance hit in nearly a decade. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 10: Rihanna arrives at the Rihanna x Fenty Hair Los Angeles Launch Party at Nya Studios on June 10, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kayla Oaddams/WireImage) Throughout her career, Rihanna has explored multiple genres of music, and she has found incredible commercial success in pretty much every style she's recorded. At this point, she claims enough hits in R&B, pop, and electronic dance fields to outpace some of the biggest stars who have stuck solely to those individual fields. The superstar scores a new dance win in the United Kingdom this week with 'Friend of Mine,' her latest tune, which was written and recorded for the upcoming animated Smurfs movie. While it doesn't break into the top 10, 'Friend of Mine' does manage to launch at No. 19 on the Official Dance Singles chart in the U.K. That's a bit disappointing, as Rihanna remains one of the biggest musical stars in the world, and anticipation for new music from her is always high. The pop icon doesn't even manage the top debut of the frame. 'Friend of Mine' scores the third-highest start of the period, behind 'Baller' by Abor and Tynna at No. 7 and 'The Glen' from Levi Heron, which opens at No. 15. Rihanna is typically a fixture on the Official Dance Singles chart, but it has been many years since she earned a new hit on the genre-specific tally. 'Friend of Mine' marks her first debut on the list in just under a decade. She last arrived with a new track in May 2016 when she joined Calvin Harris on 'This Is What You Came For.' That tune has spent 151 weeks somewhere on the roster — six of which have been at No. 1. As it opens at No. 19, 'Friend of Mine' also becomes Rihanna's second-lowest-charting career placement on the Official Dance Singles roster. She has only sent seven tunes to the list, and just one, 'Jump,' has stalled in a lower position. That track has thus far spent only two frames somewhere on the ranking, and has climbed no higher than No. 25. All of Rihanna's other hits have reached the top 10, and most have spent time at No. 1. Rihanna doubles up on the Official Dance Singles chart this frame as 'Friend of Mine' joins 'We Found Love,' another collaboration with Calvin Harris. That track dips from No. 24 to No. 37 as it reaches 233 frames somewhere on the tally.
