Argentine rappers Milo J and Trueno sat down together at the Latin Alternative Music Conference in New York on Thursday, July 30, 2026, sharing stories — and mate, the traditional Argentine infused drink — in a panel moderated by Billboard's co-chief content officer Leila Cobo. The Q&A ran from 10:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. ET as part of LAMC 2026, a three-day industry event scheduled to run through Saturday, August 1 (Billboard).

The two artists are no strangers to each other's work. Milo J and Trueno collaborated on the track "Gil," released in 2025. Milo J also released the album La Vida Era Más Corta that same year, while Trueno released his album TURR4ZO in 2026 (Billboard).

The conference, held annually in New York, brings together artists, music executives, and fans across panels, showcases, and free concerts. Billboard's LAMC 2026 guide, published July 21 and authored by Isabela Raygoza, outlined the full schedule of events. Mexican singer Julieta Venegas was also featured at this year's edition (Billboard).

LAMC 2026's speaker roster extended beyond performers. Pablo Ahogado of Concord Music Publishing and Ramon Fragoso of Amazon Music were both listed among the conference's speakers, reflecting the event's industry-facing side — the dealmakers and platform executives behind the music that reaches audiences (Latin Alternative Music Conference).

For Trueno, the panel capped a notable week. He shared a Billboard cover story with Bella Kay and Slayyyter in the same week as the LAMC appearance (Billboard).

The conference is set to close with a free public concert at SummerStage in Central Park's Rumsey Playfield, with entrance at 72nd Street and 5th Avenue, on August 1. Milo J and Trueno are both scheduled to perform, joined by Dominican rapper J Noa and a DJ set from Albina Cabrera. The event is free and open to the public (Latin Alternative Music Conference).

For two Argentine artists who built their careers on Spanish-language rap and trap, a shared mate gourd on a New York stage was a small gesture carried from home. The conference that hosted them runs through the weekend.
