Trueno’s relationship with Gorillaz: Quilmes Rock and Pulse of Gaia
Trueno had already shared the stage with Gorillaz in 2022during Quilmes Rock, performing “Clint Eastwood” with a freestyle that welcomed the band. Regarding the collaboration, the rapper explained: “Damon’s daughter listens to my music and I must have shown her something. And thanks to the people at Pop Art, the festival’s producer, we were able to combine and meet Damon and his band. “Then they invited us to come up and improvise with them and we were grateful for the invitation.”
Last Saturday, September 20, Gorillaz performed in Madrid during the Pulse of Gaia festival, and Trueno performed “The Manifesto” with the band. “I crossed the door and today I feel free, I left the past and I focused on the simple, just give me 21 grams to feel firm, and I will leave you my legacy before I leave,” the Argentine musician sang.
