In a night charged with political symbolism and tradition, President Javier Milei caused a sensation at the 60th edition of the Jesús María Horse Taming and Folklore Festival. According to the Argentine News Agency, the head of state was not only applauded by the public but also dared to take the stage to sing verses of 'Wild Love' alongside 'El Chaqueño' Palavecino, whom he defined as 'a great one'. Accompanied by the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, Milei arrived at the José Hernández amphitheater, fulfilling his promise to visit the province that was key to his electoral victory. 'Thank you for coming to these creole festivals, where there are so many beautiful people,' the Salta-born singer greeted him from the stage. The climax of the visit occurred when Milei, from the audience, made a special request to the artist: 'Chaqueño, can I ask you to perform a song in honor of the love I feel for Córdoba?' 'How could I not thank the beloved province of Córdoba that helped me become president,' Milei emphasized, unleashing applause from those present. Before the musical moment, the head of state took the microphone to give a brief speech focused on gratitude to the people of Córdoba and the defense of traditions. And he added: 'That's why I didn't want to miss it.' The unexpected duet: 'Approved'. The musician insisted — reminding the president of his past as a rock musician and his singing of Leonardo Favio's songs — and Milei went on stage. Finally, the libertarian leader sang the chorus and bridge of the folk classic, receiving the Chaqueño's approval: 'Well done!'
