Last Tuesday, Argentine President Javier Milei had his book launch event at Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires. In an unexpected twist, he led a musical show among with trusted individuals within his inner circle.
- The event took place after the resignation of José Luis Espert from his candidacy as first national deputy for La Libertad Avanza (LLA, by its acronym in Spanish) after several revelations about his link with the businessman accused of drug trafficking, Federico Andrés “Fred” Machado.
- Still remains to be confirmed who will lead the Libertarian Party list in Buenos Aires Province and whether the single ballot will remain as printed or if changes will be made with the new list of candidates. The ruling party has announced that it intends to have Diego Santilli head the list in Buenos Aires Province.
Who accompanied Milei on stage during his book launch event?
During the first part of the event, the President mingled with the audience while accompanied by presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni, with whom he discussed the book La construcción del milagro.
During the first few minutes, both spoke calmly, but then the atmosphere transformed into a musical spectacle in which the President appeared extremely euphoric with the first chords prepared by the group accompanying him, which calls itself “La Banda Presidencial”.

At that moment, Milei, microphone in hand, was introducing individually the musicians and political leaders who accompanied him on stage.
Members of the presidential band:
- Joaquín Benegas Lynch, candidate for senator for Entre Ríos Province, (rhythm guitar).
- Alberto “Bertie” Benegas Lynch, national deputy of LLA and future president of the Budget Committee, replacing Espert, (drums).
- Marcelo Duclós, presidential biographer, (bass).
- Hernán Scarfó, musician and actor (lead guitar).
- Lilia Lemoine, national Representative (backing vocals).
- Ana Tamagno, Duclós’ wife and candidate for deputy for LLA in Buenos Aires Province (backing vocals).
During the show, the band performed: “Demoliendo Hoteles,” “Panic Show,” “No me arrepiento de este amor,” “Dame Fuego,” and “Blues del equipaje,” among other national hits.
“I would like to thank the ‘iron triangle,’ Karina Milei, and Santiago Caputo. Also, the LLA parties and the alliances present. To the youth of the entire country, the La Púrpura group, and the Forces of Heaven,” Milei said.

Several officials and ministers were seated in the front rows of the audience, including Patricia Bullrich (Security), Sandra Pettovello (Human Capital), Federico Sturzenegger (Deregulation), Lisandro Catalán (Interior), Luis Petri (Defense), and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Martín Menem, among others.
After the musical show, Milei returned to his suit and tie attire and addressed the public: “Don’t give up, we are halfway there, we have to cross to the other side of the river,” Milei asked and anticipated: “Structural reforms are coming after December 10,” and gave the tax and labor reforms as examples. He also promised that inflation will end in mid-2026 and reiterated: “We are going in the right direction.”
