With more than 50 albums to his credit, Mexico-born evangelical pastor, label owner, and singer Marco Barrientos has been bringing the good news and good vibes to Latin audiences throughout the Americas since 1986. And his sound has only become more alluring over time: A series of energized live albums released during the 2010s—including El Encuentro (The Encounter) and Amenece (Dawn)—diversified praise music's musical appeal with ecstatic guitar rock, rousing ballads, and disco ("De Gloria en Gloria"). Barrientos often augments his rapturous mass choir with fellow Christian pop stars such as Christine D'Clario, Marcela Gándara, and Marcos Brunet.
