Musicas espíritas (Spiritist music) is a Brazilian devotional-pop umbrella for songs inspired by Allan Kardec’s Spiritist doctrine. It blends the accessible harmonies and rhythms of MPB, bossa nova, soft pop/rock, and choir traditions with uplifting lyrics about charity, reincarnation, moral progress, and consolation. Unlike congregational hymnody, Spiritist centers typically reserve music for talks, study groups, youth education, cultural gatherings, concerts, and outreach events—rather than for mediumistic sessions, which emphasize silence and concentration. The result is a community-driven repertoire that favors gentle timbres, singable melodies, and affirmative messages in Portuguese aimed at reflection, comfort, and ethical action.

New age is a largely instrumental, mood-driven genre that emphasizes calm, spacious textures and a sense of spiritual or contemplative uplift. It blends gentle electronic timbres, acoustic instruments, and global/folk influences to create immersive soundscapes intended for relaxation, meditation, and introspection. Hallmarks include slow tempos or free time, long sustaining pads, modal and consonant harmonies, nature field recordings, and unobtrusive rhythms. The music often avoids dramatic tension in favor of openness and continuity, conveying themes of inner peace, nature, and the transcendent.
