The talented Ríos brothers, from Medellín to the world, celebrate the coveted award Latin Grammy for Best Long Video for his extraordinary documentary on the “Mis Manos Tour”, the first tour of the famous Colombian singer Camilo. This achievement is even more remarkable as it is his first feature film and which, months ago, premiered on the HBO platform.
“The first tour of my life” offers a deep and emotional look behind the scenes of Camilo’s first tour, exploring not only his music, but also the moving stories behind the songs and the impact he had on his audiences. With a running time of one hour and 20 minutes, the film captures the essence of the post-pandemic phenomenon that was this tour, visiting 48 cities and performing 64 concerts in iconic venues.
According to director Camilo Ríos and producer Mauricio Ríos, the idea of documenting the tour was born from the connection with Nicolas Ramírez, Camilo’s lifelong friend and collaborator. The creative process began with a proposed YouTube series, but evolved into an ambitious feature film that captures the essence of the artist and the magic of his concerts.
“We sat down Camillo the first time and we asked him the first question. I felt incredible relief because this man is a very deep guy, with a whole universe inside him. Interviewing Camilo was a unique experience and the depth of him as an artist is reflected in every frame of the documentary,” they said.
