Sagrado has been looked upon, in Brazil and abroad, as the most expressive work of the progressive symphonic music of Latin America. Their music links rock to the force of Aboriginal tribal rhythms and the beauty and sophistication of classical. The lyrics tell about the advent of a new era for mankind related to spiritual and ecological questions.
Marcus Viana, author of the lyrics and all of the music for the group, became known to the public through several soundtracks and overtures for Brazilian television such as #Pantanal, #Chiquinha Gonzaga, #Xica da Silva, #Ana Raio e Zé Trovao, #Serras Azuis, #Terra Nostra, and #Aquarela do Brasil. Sagrado has gone through a number of phases and some of its members have gained national recognition performing with other groups and artists. ~ Cesar Lanzarini, Rovi
