The Argentine Milo J, whose real name is Camilo Joaquín Villarruel, performed at Rock in Rio on the Supernova stage on Saturday, at 19 years of age. The young international music star is considered one of the great promises of international pop, having gained worldwide recognition recently, especially after a participation in NPR's Tiny Desk program, the American public radio station.
The success of his presentation was such that it motivated the holding of an extra show in São Paulo today. During the sound check, he was seen taciturn with his chimarrão, contrasting with the energy he demonstrated in making the Brazilian audience emotionally sing along to songs like "Niño" and "Gil".
His most recent album, "La vida era más curta" (2025), proposes a connection of rap with the folk music of both Argentina and Latin America, having achieved great repercussion on streaming platforms. Milo J spoke about the Brazilian influence in his music, citing funk and bossa nova as references.
Behind the scenes of the festival, Milo J met with Brazilian singer João Gomes, who declared he had gained an "international friend". The Argentine was received with enthusiasm by the Brazilian audience present at Rock in Rio.
