The images went viral in the last few hours due to their strong impact: a police officer from the city of Salta burst onto the stage of Piti Fernandez with the desire to end his show. The scene occurred last Saturday the 8th in Jekill Fun Cluban LGBT+ nightclub that next weekend will celebrate 17 uninterrupted years in the provincial capital, and that rented the place to those who produced the singer’s solo show. The pills of the grandpa.
The rock recital had been scheduled to end at 0 o’clock on Sunday the 9th, since the bowling alley was to open at 0.30, which on its agenda had organized a party that included the contest. Miss Trans Provincial to elect the representative of Salta in a national election to be held in the province of Córdoba. However, at 0.30 and the music continued playing on stage to the delight of about 350 people who came to see Fernández.
Provincial police sources confided in Teleshow who came at the request of the venue’s owners, who intended for the recital to end so they could open the door to the party’s audience. However, according to this story, the owners would have received “lack of respect” from the organizers of the singer’s show pill box. The police tried to talk to someone identified as part of the organizing group, but this person reportedly refused as such or even to point out who was responsible for the production. It is for this reason that the officers asked those in charge of the bowling alley’s private security to turn on the lights, lower the volume of the music and give them access to the stage.
This is how the images that were disseminated through social networks were born. “A round of applause for the officer“Piti asked, ironically, and the audience applauded but also insulted the officer who stood in the center of the stage. Some, more daring, threw glasses with drinks. At that moment, the singer launched into “El Sensei,” a Pastillas classic, while behind him two people from his team tried to convince the police officer to let the song finish. “And that’s when everyone looks at him, the one who knows how to dribble the law best, the one everyone in the neighborhood calls El Sensei.…”, Fernández intoned strongly and hugged one of those who spoke with the officer. “Sensei himself, here present”he said pointing to his friend Hernan, who inspired the topic in question and also works with him. “Come on, beautiful people of Salta!” Hernán harangued and spoke to the police again to calm things down. Meanwhile, the public and the musicians continued haranguing and rehearsed some verses from “La pachanga” (Vilma Palma) as if to get things a little more out of control, although in a controlled manner.
Finally, and after the police intervention, Piti and his solo band, called The Unbreakables, they shortened the set list and finished playing at 0.35. “Many thanks to the local people, to the police too. To all of you, dear Salta, thank you very much,” the singer greeted and, after a group photo, he left the stage. Seconds later, and in total calm, the public did the same and left the place without disturbances.
Fernández had begun a solo tour of the Argentine northwest starting on Wednesday the 5th in La Rioja, then on Thursday the 6th he was in Santiago del Estero, he passed through Tucumán on Friday the 7th, Salta had been on the 8th and he closed the section on Sunday the 9th. in Jujuy. One day before the incident with the police, statements by Piti appeared in the Tucumán newspaper The Gazette that, in some way, go hand in hand with what happened. The singer was asked his opinion about the group Winona Riders and said: “I listened to them a little and I love them. They are very good”. In reference to this, he added: “I think rock is to scandalize grandmothers, and that’s what we’re here for.”.

And she is about to release the album Living one-eyed, of which he already presented two songs. “In 20 years we have toured the entire country with Las Pastillas, which is a seven-headed monster. But here I am a Taliban with The Unbreakables. We come from San Luis, where we recorded the album that will have ten songs. We have already presented two and the rest will be in July, we are going to present it in Buenos Aires,” he told La Gaceta.
