Regarding his tweet that sparked controversy about the end of ‘Cocineros Argentinos’ on public TV, the musician clarified: “I have never celebrated the suspension of a contract (or redundancy pay)I simply responded sarcastically to another ironic X.”

Then, Calamaro expressed his opinion on the format of the program which aired for more than a decade on Segnale: “A team of a hundred people making pancakes on TV is obsolete if networks exist.TikTok or YouTube, where we see thousands of chefs with their recipes and tricks. Television loses audience and strength with the internet: it makes no sense”.

«It’s true that I’m not enthusiastic about many cooking programs and – perhaps also – the status of artists for a service like feeding. Never a film program, which promotes local artists. Furthermore: the public media are ideologically partial, it would be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and a scam on the State and on us who pay taxes. I don’t celebrate if a contract isn’t renewed but it’s the life of all of us who work“he added in his defense.

I’m not fifteen either, it’s not nice.”They compare me to my fellow musicians as if they were progressive demagogues or they insult us all“, he complained.
“It is not necessary to name names, but I know almost all the musical artists of our country and other countries. It is ridiculous to establish an ideological rivalry between us“, he concluded.
