Overview
- The regiment’s band, which played Monday in the Casa Rosada’s Patio de las Palmeras, marked the presidential secretary’s 53rd birthday with an eight‑minute set.
- The repertoire mixed military marches with ABBA hits, including Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, and Chiquitita, and closed with the Marcha de San Lorenzo.
- Access points were briefly closed and, according to La Nación, journalists were told by Karina Milei’s aide Mara Gorini to watch from the first floor as a small circle of allies looked on.
- After the patio tribute, the musicians moved to Plaza de Mayo for a public performance tied to Malvinas week, with videos of both moments circulating on social media.
- The Granaderos are a historic unit that handles ceremony and presidential security, and using the corps for a birthday salute that was not on the public agenda drew attention to the line between official duties and private honors.
