Milei is in fashion these days for her electoral performance, provoking the fervor of some and the "fright" of others.
But one of the not-so-popular facets of the libertarian candidate is that he has a connection to music that is rare among politicians.
Among his multiple youth adventures, he was the voice of a band called "Everest" that covered the Rolling, and that is why he even dared to sing a song by La Renga in his recent campaign closure in Parque Lezama.
Milei also treasures a hundred Elvis albums and a wide rock range that goes from Beatles to Led Zeppelin.
But, at the same time, he is a fan of classical music, especially bel canto works such as “Norma” by Bellini and “Lucía de Lamermoor”, by Donizetti.
He assures that he entered through Verdi and led to his today more than admired Puccini.
"I am a character of Puccini, absolutely passionate," he defined himself.
Her followers will identify Milei with a lover Rodolfo (La Bohéme) or the tortured painter Cavaradossi (Tosca) and his detractors, with the tyrant Scarpia.
Puccini offers characters for all tastes.
In the voice of Nino Bravo

His own theatrical production ("Milei's office") opened with that legendary song popularized by Nino Bravo in the early 70s: "Libre".
"He thinks that the wire is only / a piece of metal / something that he can never stop / his desire to fly" indicates the composition of José Luis Armenteros and Pablo Herrero.
For a long time it was believed - and so Mile claims - that the work was inspired by the young Peter Fechter, a German worker shot by the Communists in 1962 when he tried to escape from the East, crossing the Berlin Wall.
And "Free" became -sometimes- an anti-communist emblem.
However, Armenteros and Herreros, authors of more than 700 works of Hispanic pop and rock, clarified that "Libre" was set in times of the Franco dictatorship in their own country.
