Salsa Mayor Tour of Europe Canceled
Maykel Blanco sent us the following press release today regarding the planned European tour. He wants to apologize to all his fans and will also be posting the information at his own site shortly. “ACERCA DE LA GIRA DE VERANO 2009 DE MAYKEL BLANCO Y SU SALSA MAYOR”
El lunes 13 de Julio establecimos un contacto telefónico desde Cuba con la “Oficina del Arte en Italia”, empresa que nos representa en Europa; inquietos por la ausencia de los documentos que debían llegar el día anterior a la Embajada para la tramitación y no llegaron. Nos sorprendió la noticia de que la Gira de Verano 2009 de Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor, prevista para iniciarse el 23 de Julio no se realizaría.
La noticia fue impactante, pues con anterioridad todas las correspondencias y llamadas referentes al asunto eran satisfactorias. Nunca hubo detalle alguno que diera indicio de dificultades, toda lo contrario. Creemos que la única dificultad que no permitió la llegada de la agrupación fue la propia compañía encargada de la comercialización, la cual no lo hizo en tiempo y forma, ni con la seriedad que con lleva; y por si fuera poco se nos falsearon informaciones, dándonos una lista de conciertos confirmados y otros por confirmar donde parte de ellos al parecer eran falsos, incluso afectándonos gravemente dado que teníamos en esta fecha una propuesta de gira por Perú y fue postergada, pues ya teníamos este compromiso.
Realmente da pena que suceda esto con una agrupación como la de Maykel Blanco que está teniendo tanto éxito en su país y otros, fundamentalmente en los continentes de Europa y América.
Hemos decidido hacer pública nuestra molestia ante tan irresponsable procedimiento y a su vez damos a conocer nuestra separación del catalogo artístico de esta agencia.
“REGARDING THE SUMMER 2009 TOUR OF MAYKEL BLANCO Y SU SALSA MAYOR”
Monday July 13 we made contact by telephone from Cuba with “Oficina del Arte en Italia”, the company that represents us in Europe; worried about the absence of the documents that should have arrived the day before at the Embassy for processing but never arrived. We were surprised by the news that the Summer Tour 2009 of Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor, planned to begin July 23rd would not take place.
The news was crushing because previously all of the correspondence and phone calls concerning the subject were satisfactory. There was never any detail that hinted at difficulties, everything to the contrary. We believe that the only difficulty that has not permitted the arrival of the group was the company itself responsible for the marketing, which was not done in time or form, nor with due seriousness; and as if it were nothing they falsified information to us, giving us a list of confirmed concerts and others to be confirmed some of which it seems were false, even affecting us seriously as we had at this time a proposal for a tour of Peru which was postponed because of this commitment.
It is really a shame that this happened with a group such as that of Maykel Blanco that is experiencing such success in their own country and others, fundamentally on the continents of Europe and America.
We have decided to make public our complaint in the face of such irresponsible proceedings and at the same time make known our separation from the catalogue of artists of this agency.
