Chaqueño Palavecino Defends Milei Duet as Folklore Association Expels Him

The singer says the Jesús María cameo was a routine stage gesture rooted in respect for the office.

Overview

  • Palavecino rejected being labeled a sycophant, saying “Alcahuete no soy” in a radio interview and dismissing his critics.
  • He described inviting President Javier Milei to sing in Jesús María as spontaneous after spotting him in the guests’ box and hearing a request for “Amor salvaje.”
  • Luciana Jury and Susy Shock criticized the gesture in Cosquín, referring to him as an “alcahuete del poder” during their set.
  • Audience reactions diverged sharply, with Milei ovationed in Jesús María and Jury booed in Cosquín after political remarks and denied an encore.
  • The Asociación Federal de Raíces Criollas announced his expulsion, calling the appearance with the president “incompatible with the essence criolla.”
