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