Twenty-six years after the tragic death of Argentine cuarteto icon Rodrigo Bueno, his only son, Ramiro Bueno, is carving out his own artistic identity. Now 28, Ramiro is establishing himself as a musician, embracing a hip-hop-influenced style under the stage name Rxpper Ram.
I'm in music, I'm in art, I enjoy it a lot and I'm fascinated by getting on stage. I don't pigeonhole myself into a genre; I consider myself more of a rapper because I'm closer to hip-hop culture and what that culture represents.
Ramiro, whose mother is Patricia Pacheco, has pursued formal education, earning a degree in Sports Journalism and studying Audiovisual Communication. However, his passion lies in the arts. "I'm in music, I'm in art, I enjoy it a lot and I'm fascinated by getting on stage," he told LA NACION in 2025. "I don't pigeonhole myself into a genre; I consider myself more of a rapper because I'm closer to hip-hop culture and what that culture represents."
Since 2023, Ramiro has released three musical projects: the album "Valhalla" in 2023, "Zafiro: The Mixtape" in 2024, and his latest work, "Nรกufrago," in March of this year. He emphasizes the personal nature of his music, stating, "I don't expect you to like it, but I do expect you to understand it, because what I sing and write are stories from my life, in my own way and from the deepest part of my soul."

Ramiro not only inherited his father's passion for music but also a striking physical resemblance. While Rodrigo sported blue hair, Ramiro opts for a lighter, almost yellow shade. He maintains a strong connection to his father's memory, recently posting a touching tribute on social media for what would have been Rodrigo's 53rd birthday. The post also celebrated Belgrano de Cรณrdoba's football victory, expressing love for his father and gratitude to fans and family.
Happy birthday, pa. I hope you are happy. Everything that has been happening this month is a bit crazy, but crazy people like me simply enjoy it and go through it without asking too many questions. I love you forever. Cheers to my favorite "pirata cordobรฉs." A huge hug to all his fans, to the fans and members of Belgrano, and also especially to my family on this special day. Today we are all Rodrigo. I wish it could be like this always. Cheers.
