a correction: he's not a respected musician. He had a minor hit in 1982, during Pinochet's dictatorship, when one of his brothers was in the cabinet and pretty much all artists were banned from TV or radio.

After that, he's been notorious only for being drunk and date blondes.

He looks like the love-child of Billy Joel and Gallagher.

He is not only a party animal and a shame for his family, he is also connected to drug cartels and drug dealing at very high levels in Chile... so that is something to keep into account

As for respected musician, well that is a stretch. As a nightclub owner, the funds he needed and needs to live come from his brother Sebastian, the President-elect. Miguel is indeed a party animal with a trademark catch phrase "papurri" something like "daddio". "Negro" is bipolar, as the president-elect is anxious, hyperactive, full of body ticks. Negro's partner Belen is the typical Argentine cabaret girl, she left him last year due to mounting jealousy bouts. "Negro" was extremely jealous of a younger -Belen's age- personal physical trainer who worked Belen out at an upscale gym. After many months and therapy Belen took his much older lover back, 20 year difference. Ask youself why a cabaret girl would end up with a man 20 years her senior. According to Piñera family lore, before the mother died, she may have told Sebastian to take care of Miguel because he cannot take care of himself. Now check for Jose Piñera at the Cato institute with his rants against his brother who climbed higher than him. Brother Jose Piñera was a Pinochet lackey who imposed the current and yet to be reformed labour legislation and the failed private independent pension plan. A plan that is bearing its first fruits, people with 30-40 years of funds in the private system retired with a pension of about 160 to 180 thousand pesos. That translate to 320-350 US$. That fact forced the outgoing Bachelet government to implement a pension reform that augments pensions, extends pensions to those left out from the Jose Piñera created system. The Piñera´s an odd quirky family. Their is much, much more information on the Piñeras.

The''negro''Piñera is the opposite of the culture of our country and even more is the clear difference between the popular world of the struggling Chilean every day of their lives is up early, not much money to have fun, work hard to succeed, not make much money, he prefers his family before the night life before drugs and the easy life .. Miguel Piñera''Black''is a respected artist (he has only one song and is known disgusting). Do not know who is up in the morning and can not live without your Cocaina.por that and much more in Chile more than 48 percent CHILE NOT WANT TO SELL, OR THAT WE PIÑERA RULE!

It's so embarrassing to think that Chile might be known for this kind of people. He's not a respected musician, he doesn't belong to our bohemian culture... He just belongs to that kind of man who acts and lives like a pimp. We, the young and slightly smart people, do not party like he does, do not share his values , do not go and hang out to the kind of clubs that he owns... In fact we despise them! We are so much smarter and cooler than this!

This is not hypster, please people don't believe anything that is written in this article, let's not glamorize this!

El Negro Piñera is sort of a joke. He is not a popular neither a respect musician. He had one hit 30 years ago. Not a piece of art, by the way.

He has then live being gross and vulgar at the shadow of his brother.

Managing his pubs, which a lot of time had been accuessed of selling drugs.
I can only expected tthat he will be "raised" again as "respect musician" as he was during Pinochet.

Depressing.

he's notoriously know for be a high consumer of snow...
and as a musician...wait, he's not really a musician, just a junkie with a guitar a and a microphone.

and thanks for the welcome fp, now you have some chilean readers :)

I think that you have to be reported before write about this:

1. Negro Piñera is not respected musician

2. Sebastián Piñera is not a "world leader", he's just a very very rich man that verifies that money really really CAN BUY ALL, even a country.

It's a shame

You can't say he is "receiving what is apparently some kind of traditional Chilean dessert"! Its insulting and shows lack of research. There is not such dessert here in Chile, that's just a joke from some bloke. It says "Enjoy it", by the way.

I know this might seem funny to the word, but in fact is's pathetic...
by the way, "enthusiastically receiving what is apparently some kind of traditional Chilean dessert", is not accurate.....he might be enthusiastically receiving it, but its not "traditional Chilean dessert".

To add to what has been said, as Chilean I can tell you, (sorry for my English) the "black Pinera" is known only as a pathetic character, who takes off his beret not eve to get a shower, and who call himselve a musician, artist and bohemian which is far far away. Please not insult the realy musicians, artists and bohemians who usually are associated with an intellectual endeavor, a concept totally absent from the brain of this man.
But the problem with all of this is not the "black", is in fact the hypocrisy of the adherents of Sebastian Pinera, who apologize and lower the profile as if he were a child, despite them being very Catholic, a lot of them belonging to Opus Day, who have been historically the most strict in terms of "moral values", but this lets see once again that it is only when it suits them ...

hell yeah thats our traditional Chilean desert!!!
this is a funny article... whats not funny is that he is the brother of our next president, not because of Negro Pinera, he would be a cool brother, but because of our next president...
