Portuguese priest Father Guilherme has confirmed that he will hold a free electronic music show on April 18th at Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires. The event, starting at 8:00 PM, will be a tribute to Pope Francis, just days before the first anniversary of his passing, according to the Argentine News Agency. "Hello, brothers and sisters of Argentina. In my performances, I include fragments of messages from Pope Francis and John Paul II, transforming them into musical pieces with a strong spiritual message," the priest stated. The show at Plaza de Mayo will be free and open to the public, in a night that promises to combine spirituality, electronic music, and an emotional tribute to one of the most influential figures in the contemporary Catholic Church. "It will be a night of music, gathering, and gratitude for the life and message of our beloved Argentine pope," expressed the religious figure in a video shared on social media. That moment went viral and positioned him globally as the "DJ Father". Since then, his "Hope Tour" has taken him to various countries with a proposal that blends faith, music, and technology. Over time, he has developed a unique style that combines electronic music—primarily techno—with religious elements such as papal speeches, hymns, and liturgical sounds. His popularity exploded in 2023 during World Youth Day in Lisbon, where he surprised over a million pilgrims with an electronic music set before Pope Francis's final mass. The call, also driven by the Miserando Association, generated great anticipation among believers and followers. Who is Father Guilherme and why did he become famous? Ordained a priest in 1999 and also a military chaplain, Guilherme Peixoto began his journey as a DJ in 2006 with a charitable goal: to raise funds for his parish. "I want to invite everyone, everyone, everyone to live a very special moment," he said.
