In São Paulo, Brazil, the musical genre of Black gospel reinforces the thematic power of Black voice, while gospel rap does not. In consequence, Black gospel artists embrace diasporic and Biblical history, which stimulates commitment to collective Black projects. In contrast, gospel rappers, socialized to de-center Black voice, do not develop a notion of Black voice as fulfiling Biblical prophecy, and do not develop a correlative Black politics. The article contributes to the growing literature on the possibility of an evangelical racial politics in Brazil, while identifying impediments to such politics
