Tercer Cielo (in English Third Heaven) is a contemporary Christian Latin pop music duo formed in 2000 by Dominicans Juan Carlos Rodriguez and Marcos Yaroide.
They have received award nominations from around the world, including in Puerto Rico, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Orlando, and California.
[8][9][10] The group began when Juan Carlos Rodriguez and Marcos Yaroide sang in Christian events in their hometown of Santo Domingo.
It had R&B influences and told of the story of a young woman who abandoned her Christian faith to go a world that offered him nothing but pain and suffering.
Songs on that initial album include "El rapto", "En ti no dejaré de creer", and "Contigo estoy".
Rodriguez and Yaroide later admitted in interviews that he had made his own decision to start a solo career, due to his desire to be a pastor.
Juan Carlos then decided to include his wife Evelyn Herrera as a new member of Tercer Cielo, arousing great curiosity in the artistic and Christian world.
