Silvio Rodríguez Meets Cristina Kirchner, Receives Human-Rights Honors Ahead of Buenos Aires Shows

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner framed his visit as a cultural counterpoint to President Milei’s recent arena show.

Overview

  • Rodríguez visited Cristina Fernández de Kirchner at her Constitución apartment, where she is under house arrest, sharing photos of the meeting on social media.
  • Fernández de Kirchner praised the Cuban artist and quipped that his concert would be an “act of reparation for good taste,” a pointed reference to Javier Milei’s recent Movistar Arena performance.
  • Earlier in Moreno, the singer was welcomed by Mayor Mariel Fernández and honored with the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo pañuelo and CTERA’s “Maestro del pueblo” smock.
  • Abuelas representative Gladys Salazar presented a #SoyDeAbuelas T‑shirt and the emblematic scarf, citing Rodríguez’s poetry in support of their human-rights struggle.
  • At the La Chicharra cultural center, Rodríguez gave an intimate mini‑recital that included El colibrí y la flor and closed with Rabo de nube, ahead of his high‑demand Movistar Arena dates this weekend.
