Dear Listeras and Listeros,=20 Some time ago I was asked if I could help to organize the 1st Europe tour fo= r=20 "Los Reyes del Tango". Due to totally unrealistic terms and conditions their= =20 manager Maria Peralta came up with it didn't work out as planned. But the=20 musicians wanted to travel, as a orchestra named "Los Reyes" t=EDpica to tan= go.=20 Judit Lentijo (Maria's ex assitant) took over as manager. As it happens=20 musicians fell ill, had other duties a.s.f. and she ended up with a=20 completely different orchestra. When they informed us about these changes it was too late to cancel the tour= .=20 The new director of the orchestra Mr. Humberto Pinheiro gave is word of=20 honour that he would take care to fullfill all contracts/liabilities a.s.f. Not to be misunderstood: the music was good. BUT: During the tour Adrian Moranchel took over Judit Lentijo's work (she ha= d=20 a severe health problem). Mr. Morancel kept a lot of money which wasn't his.= =20 People who had payed travel expenses, advanced money for Mr. Pinheiro a.s.f.= =20 didn't get back theirs. It all disappeared in Mr. Moranchel's hands who took= =20 a nice long vacation in Spain aftwards........ Since I get daily mails informing me and others that Adrian Moranchel is now= =20 the manager of "Los Reyes" I think its necessary to make known what happened= .=20 Due to the bad experiences we had with Mr. Moranchel we can't recommend to d= o=20 any kind of business with him or Humberto Pinheiro.=20 More details about what happend can be found soon at www. eltango.de or=20 contact me. Lets hope the next ballroom orchestra coming from Bs As will be managed by a= =20 honest person! Verena Volkart
