Corinhos are short, simple Christian choruses in Portuguese, most closely associated with Brazilian Pentecostal and evangelical worship. Typically 8–16 bars long and built on quickly learned refrains, they are designed for congregational participation, often with call-and-response, handclaps, and tambourine (pandeiro). Musically, corinhos favor bright major keys, straightforward I–IV–V or I–V–vi–IV progressions, and march- or samba-like rhythms that make them easy to sing and move to. Lyrically they focus on praise, testimony, spiritual warfare, joy, and collective exaltation—sometimes called “corinhos de fogo” when rendered with extra drive and fervor. Their portability and simplicity made them a core vehicle of revival meetings, street evangelism, and children’s ministry across Brazil.
