Earlier this year, the Portuguese electronic dance music sensation Padre Guilherme graced London’s aptly named Ministry of Sound with an evening show, which I attended with friends. We had first encountered the Padre on Instagram, where footage of his January 2025 set beneath the towering statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio has gone viral. In the videos, the clerical-collared priest-DJ, wearing a permanent smile, presides over a crowd of enthusiastic ravers with outstretched arms mirroring those of the statue behind him.
