Milo J and an album that fuses folklore and new voices
“Life was shorter“It is not limited to revisiting old genres: reinterpret. In the tracklist of the new album collaborations appear with Mercedes Sosa, Silvio Rodríguez, Soledad, Cuti and Roberto Carabajalbut also with representatives of the new urban scene, such as Thunder and Akriila. This mixture builds a generational dialogue that sounds Latin American, current and deep at the same time.
Milo J. It does not come from a folk family. He discovered this universe almost by chance, when his friend Focus spent some songs that left him “flying,” he said. Since then he armed playlists, shared them with his producers and began straining those references in his demos. This is how this album was born, A kind of emotional map which connects to the chamamé Correntino “Puente Pexoa” with current beats and lyrics where nightmares turn into songs.
For Milo J, Folklore is “the root, the nucleus”, as confessed. He uses it as an emotional and narrative resource on his most personal album. The musician speaks of “screenshots” and “nightmares” that end up transforming into melodies.
Who is Milo J and why he steps so strongly
Born in 2006, Milo J. first broke with urban cuts and quickly caught attention for his Versatility to mix styles. In less than two years, it went from being an emerging name to filling rooms in Buenos Aires and adding collaborations with consecrated artists. Its aesthetics, far from typecasting, reflects restlessness and permanent search.
This album works like consolidation of that path. The inclusion of Mercedes Sosa is not only a tribute, but a bold gesture that reconfigures the link between the roots and the new generations. In addition, he confirms that folklore can live with urban beats without losing strength or authenticity.
The artist himself describes “life was shorter” as “testimonies of a changed dream” and as an invitation to make sense of timeeven when nightmares seem to gain ground.
