Dressed in the colors and shield of his Boca Juniors club, Mateo Palacios Corazzina, as his original name, unfolds part of his songbook using one of the typical convents that abound in the La Boca neighborhood as a stage set.

Trueno’s almost autobiographical set begins with “DANCE CRIP”, the first single from their recent album, RIGHT OR WRONG, and an ode to The Sugarhill Gang’s 1979 hit “Rapper’s Delight.”

“Trueno’s affinity for old-school hip-hop is something the rapper returns to throughout his set, while simultaneously invoking percussive beats and tango motifs. Thunder continues with the album’s title track , before launching into an impromptu freestyle,” the performance describes.

Beneath a mural that reads “La Boca resistes and proposes,” Trueno demonstrates his lyrical skill and emotional range, “This can’t be done by just anyone, the ghetto spokesman conquering the sphere,” he raps. , promoting the resilience of his neighborhood and their own.

Trueno concludes his performance with “TIERRA ZANTA,” perhaps the most politically charged song on his album, which features famed folk artist Víctor Heredia.
