The Portuguese priest and DJ Father Guilherme announced that he will perform a free electronic music show on April 18 in Plaza de Mayo. The event will pay tribute to Pope Francis, coinciding with the approach of the first anniversary of his death. The show will begin at 8 p.m. and is free of charge.
Florencia Ruiz: “This album was like looking in a mirror”
“Hello, brothers and sisters of Argentina. I want to invite everyone to experience a very special moment. It will be a night of music, encounter, and gratitude for life and the message of our beloved Argentine Pope, who always showed us God’s mercy,” the priest stated in a video posted on his social media.
The event, also promoted by the Miserando Association, generated considerable excitement among social media users, especially after the boom created by the discovery of the “DJ Father” in 2023 at World Youth Day in Lisbon. Since then, he has captivated more than a million pilgrims with an electronic music set before the final Mass of the former Pope.
The Portuguese priest’s Hope Tour blends electronic music with spiritual messages and excerpts from religious speeches by figures such as Pope Francis and John Paul II. For a remix, he took fragments of the speech the Argentine-born Pope gave at World Youth Day 2013 and combined the words with beats: “Be protagonists. Play forward. Kick things forward, build a better world. A world of brothers and sisters, a world of justice, of love, of peace, of fraternity, of solidarity,” the song says.
Ordained in 1999 and also a military chaplain, Peixoto began mixing music in 2006 to raise funds for his parish. He ended up developing his own style that blends techno with religious elements, such as papal speeches, hymns, and liturgical sounds.
