He was a member of Los Wachituros and bottomed out, but events changed his life and now he dreams of becoming an evangelical minister.

2013. Lucas Daniel Knight And the rest of the members Wachitsurosu They returned to Moron’s home from the Rosary after one of many marathon tours. So at Mike, the group’s producers warned them: “Everyone, we’re going to Europe next month, so get everything ready.”

The excitement of Kaka, Emmanuel Gidon (DJ Memo), Gonzalo Munoz, Brian Cokey Romero, and Leonel, the nicknames of Lucas at the time. Late Rencinus was total. The euphoria was further heightened when the trip was promised to come with money in euros.

“I went home and said,’I have to do spiritual things.’ Then I knelt down and began to thank God for giving me the opportunity to see Europe, but at one point I had a lump in my throat. Yes, I couldn’t speak. And God spoke to me. “

-What did he say?

-Hmm … the message was clear and intense. God said to me: “either you serve me or you serve your group.” More or less, that’s all he told me. And those words were enough to feel the sin of my life, everything I was doing was wrong, the path I followed was not right, God for another purpose Created me.

Lucas (27) is now a turbulent year as a member of the cumbia turra group, which gained fame in 2011, settled on a particular dance and repeated themes over and over again. dance.

Talk now Clarion From his home in Moron’s Belgrano district, where he lives with his two-year-old daughter and partner after finishing his job as a water drum courier. The conversation is only a few days after Ross Wachituros announces his return to music.

“I talked to the kids … the truth is that all the income is useful, so I would like to tour again. Now I give priority to my family. I have a commitment that the kids don’t have yet and they have another freedom. There are some different approaches to life, “explains Lucas, who left the group at the age of 19 in mid-2013.

Lucas is now attending the Gospel Christian Church “Jesus is Here” in Castella, where he leads a group of young people.

-Did the church arrive after a dialogue with that god?

-No … they have been talking to me about God for a long time. Crazy things happened to me. Around that time I was in the bowling alley and said, “Jesus has a purpose for you.” I said, “This guy is crazy.” Her mother also said I had to go to church, but she didn’t shit. And when I was half drifting, a neighbor came and invited me. I tried so many things that I said, “Why?”

-What is “drift”?

-The truth was on the verge of hitting the bottom of the rock. He found no meaning in money or life. He had a mess of fame. It was a moment when he could literally go nowhere. For example, he had been at work for nearly a month, and when he came back he wanted his family to eat, but he couldn’t handle the person who asked for the photo. I stated my will, but at some point I couldn’t do everything. And they even said, “It was expanded.” There was a lot of fame and they made us crazy. And the head asks you for recreation, rest, and it wasn’t found. And that’s where I got started with drugs. There was emptiness that wasn’t filled, and it didn’t mean anything.

Lucas tells his life story to a group of young people between the ages of 15 and 17 in one of his talks. The announcement of his presence is like “Lucas Caballero, ex-Wachituro”, who threatens to take a few steps on stage and receives a standing ovation in his naturally unfolding presentation.

There he talks about his beginnings in the cumbia group, his experiences with several cities and countries he met through the band, Susana Jimenez, and his excess time. “There I was going to come on tour, take all the medicines and dance. I check where I entered and where I lived and say, “Why didn’t anything happen to me?” I am here with the pure grace and mercy of God, “he said, drawing the attention of the public.

And he invites the attendees. “Many things have marked me in my childhood and adolescence. I didn’t have a god to release the burden and say, “I’m suffering, I’m hurt.” So you have to look at your leader, your minister, or you don’t have to keep yourself anything, as your heart will explode.

-How did you get out of it?

-I ran out before arriving at the church. And I said, “I don’t want this for my life, for my future.” Since I was a kid, I’ve rethought a lot for the future. Then he met his wife at church and had a daughter. Since I entered the church, a lot of positive things have begun to happen to me. We have a god who listens to you and he is there when you need him.

-What was the most memorable thing?

-When I first arrived at the church, I felt the minister speak to me. He explained everything he felt. I felt him point a gun at me and shoot me in my chest. Every word he said pervaded me badly. That day I cried. Then I prayed for the prayer of faith, I accepted Jesus in my heart, and that is where I started. I didn’t become a fanatic, but I went to church every weekend.

The turning point in his life was the message he received after the announcement of his imminent trip to Europe. In short, it was Los Wachituros or God.

-What happened after that?

-So I started crying and asking God for forgiveness. It was like this for an hour. I didn’t know what to do with the trip. Until I called the manager and told him to get off the plane. I spoke to him with confidence, the same as I have to this day. And the same beliefs that young people need today.

-Have you ever doubted?

-And … I kept going to church, but at the youth meeting I felt uncomfortable and everyone called me to talk about me. I heard the words and went home. And one day I went to Facebook and met the kids at the Coliseum in Rome. He wanted to kill me. I was angry with God. I was going to waste time in the church and felt that something more had to be done. So I went to the place of the house where God spoke to me and I said, “Tell me the way.” I got angry and fell asleep. A week later, Rev. Entre Rios called me and invited me to share my testimony to a group of young people. That was my confirmation.

-What is your project? Can you be called a minister?

-Today I am leading a group of young people and I am invited to preach wherever I am invited. I’m not a minister, but I always want to be pretty. I follow the motto “He who is not suitable for serving, not suitable for living”. One of my greatest wishes is to be able to live in fame, make good and bad decisions, and then convey the message of faith to young people. That is my project.

Balance of his year in Ross Wachitsu Ross

“It’s been three years. Travel, plane, 15th birthday, bowling, TV interviews were from Monday to Monday … it was crazy, “Lucas said of staying in the group through casting at the age of 16. His neighbor Braian Romero warned him about it, he copied a typical little step from there.

-From afar, what do you think was all alive that year?

-For me, joining the band was a gift from God. I was able to know the countries from end to end, such as Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Ecuador. I have a good time, but above all, the love of people. They loved us. Love continues to this day. See how the kids are back and how they are doing well. The other day they traveled to Mendoza, now they are going to record a video clip …

-Was your departure from the group due to your religious side?

-It was a combination of things. After what happened in the memo (NdR: in 2020 he was fired from a sexual abuse case that had been heavy on him since 2012), everything collapsed. It split us in the middle, because we were doing really well. It ignited us because of what they invented. Since then, little by little, each one has begun to do their own thing little by little.

-What did the kids tell you when you started going to church?

-Kids didn’t like it. You know how they first loaded me. Same as the best … they didn’t understand when I first got off the trip to Europe because they felt I was abandoning them. But I emphasized to them that I needed to change my life. They felt he betrayed them, but then the best was left. Thank you again. At that time, we shared many unforgettable strong and beautiful things.
