The Venezuelan singer Ricardo Montaner sung the song "Cuando un amigo se va [es]" authored by the singer-songwriter Alberto Cortez who was one of those artist being remembered. The song was sung while images of the deceased artists were shown.
However, a number of names were missing from the list, including Guillermo Bredeston. Before the Golden Martín Fierro announcement president of APTRA, Luis Ventura [es], got on stage to apologize blaming a digital error for the omissions before playing the video again with the missing artists added.[2][3]
