A video created with artificial intelligence went viral by showing the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli “singing” the libertarian song “Kuka throws stones” on the stage of the Casa Rosada. The piece, made for humorous purposes, plays with the artist’s recent presence in Argentina, where he was received by Javier Milei and decorated with the Order of May, a meeting in which the president expected to hear a concert and Bocelli made it clear that he did not want to sing.
The chant “Kuka throws stones” was established as a mark of libertarian militancy after Milei promoted it at the presentation of his book, when the public chanted it as a mockery of Kirchnerism, in reference to the episodes in which opposition groups threw stones at the president’s caravans in the suburbs. Since then, it became a ritual at official events.
The montage that places Bocelli in Casa Rosada combines political irony and visual play: it takes the figure of the tenor, a symbol of high culture, and superimposes it with a shout from the stands that has become a party slogan. The mixture reinforces the contrast between worlds that would hardly intersect in reality.
Andrea Bocelli performed for the first time at the Teatro Colón on November 17, 2025, with a lyrical repertoire accompanied by the Orquesta Aeropuertos Argentina and guest soloists, in a performance that the local press described as a historic night.
In a digital climate where the real and the invented circulate at the same speed, the video shows how artificial intelligence can amplify jokes and political tensions. Its virality responds more to the humorous impact than to verisimilitude.
