Diamante Blackmon, better known as GORDO, has announced a 24-hour music marathon in Brazil. On November 8th, GORDO will kick off his two-day Brazilian tour with a 12-hour performance at Canindé in São Paulo, followed by another electrifying 12-hour set at Club 415 in Nova Lima on November 9th, marking the debut of his innovative Hybrid Set format in the country. These back-to-back events promise to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans, showcasing his unique ability to seamlessly bridge genres, shifting from 120 beats per minute to 160 and back again.
Following numerous sold-out shows in Brazil, including performances in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and at Green Valley, GORDO is returning with a dedicated 24-hour music marathon that is sure to captivate Brazilian audiences. Nearly a year after his impromptu, sold-out TARAKA event—organised when Tomorrowland Brazil 2023 had to cancel its second day—GORDO brought 3,000 fans together for dynamic back-to-back sets alongside music giants like Steve Angello, Franky Wah, and Victor Lou. This unforgettable performance solidified his status as a must-see artist in the Brazilian electronic music scene, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his return.
Now, with his Hybrid Set making its debut in Brazil, GORDO is once again set to prove why his unique sound resonates worldwide. Brazilian fans can expect a high-energy performance with immersive audiovisuals, a powerful setlist, and the signature GORDO energy that continues to thrill audiences across the globe.
“I love Brazil. Every time I play here, I feel the love. No matter what city I am in, the crowd always shows up ready to party. Now, with DIAMANTE out, we’re entering a new chapter of GORDO with my all new “hybrid sets” Each performance will take the crowd on a journey. Two 12-hour sets in Brazil.. moving from 120 to 160 BPM and back… I can’t wait.” says GORDO

About GORDO
Diamante Blackmon has already helped to define a global musical movement. But now he’s doing it again: GORDO is the house music alias from the artist previously known as Carnage. His releases, including ‘Hombres y Mujeres’ with Feid, ‘El Mas Chingon’ with El Alfa, and fan-favorite ‘Parcera’ with Maluma, alongside numerous sold-out shows across Latin America, reflect GORDO’s return to his Hispanic roots. Beyond music, the Grammy-nominated Nicaraguan-American DJ/producer gives back by building schools in Nicaragua and Guatemala, where he was raised, with the latest opening in 2023.
After four years in the making, this past July, GORDO released DIAMANTE, an album that blends his Nicaraguan-American heritage with a diverse range of genres like Dance, Hip Hop, Pop, Reggaeton, and Jazz. Featuring jaw-dropping multi-genre collaborations, this album has made a significant impact on the music industry, including two tracks with his long-time friend Drake, as well as Maluma, FEID, Larry June, and more. The production of this album is unlike anything any other DJ has created before, which is reflected in its over 105 million streams and its top positions in charts worldwide.
