Musical Talents Of Former Missionaries

The musical files on this page are temporarily disabled.

Between 1996 and 1999, three musical groups were formed to perform within the Portugal Porto Mission. Each group toured cities of the mission, performing in the chapels of the Church. The music was very well received by the members. Performances by the groups often filled the chapels to overflowing. We found the Portuguese people loved music, especially music of the Gospel.
Cantando Louvamos
The first musical group was called the Banda Louvando. They produced a cassette album called Cantando Louvamos. The group consisted of Claudio Aguiar, Reed Bell, Ryan Bell, Steven Gridley, Jeremy Griggs and Corbin Jones. The album was recorded live at the Coimbra chapel by Paulo Moreira.

Ha Um Salvador
The second group to perform was organized in 1997. The album they recorded was call Ha Um Salvador. The group consisted of Sonia de Jesus, Rosalynde Frandsen, Kim Checketts, Nicole West, Jeff Christensen, and Greeg Adams. From the first musical group we learned the importance of recording the music in a studio. Consequently, the later recordings are better.
