Scandal around Sonora Carruseles' concert in Sofia!

      Scandal around Sonora Carruseles' concert in Sofia!

      Dear Friends,

      Today (july 7, 2007), at exactly 19:30, in Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture, Sofia, Bulgaria, should have started the first concert of Sonora Carruseles on the Balkan Peninsula. Unfortunately, as we all know, there is to be no concert. And still not received any press release from the management of the band!? Why did the concert fail to take place? Who is responsible? The answer to these questions, and more, you may find below:
      On March, 13 2007 a contract was signed between Music Messngers, which is Sonora's representative for Europe, and Studio Elegua Ltd., i.e. Salsabor: the concert date indicated in the contract - July 7, 2007 ; the place - Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture. Soon after signing the contract, as stipulated in the contract, Studio Elegua Ltd. tranfered half of the concert fees to Music Messengers.

      To our surprise, however, two weeks before the concert date Mr. Jean Morant, who is Sonora's manager for Europe and President of Music Messangers, began convincing the team to move the date of the concert to a later date - sometime in August. When asked why, he claimed that he would not be able to bring the band in Sofia on July 7 because he couldn't find plane
      tickets. He was so persistent on his sudden desire to move the concert that it became evident to us that he had sold July 7, along with July 6th and 8th, to a customer of his in Spain (which he himself did not hide).

      When Studio Elegua refused to change the date of the concert, Mr. Morant stopped answering his phone. Up until today still not heard anything from him - neither an apology with a compensation proposition, nor even a press release.

      Studio Elegua have no bad feelings for Sonora Carruseles, and for the team they are still the number 1 salsa band in the world! However, while they have such "managers" like Jean Morant, who turned out to lack any sense whatsoever of professionalism IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED to anyone to work with them.

      Hello,

      I could recommand you following Bands:

      SONORA PONCENA with Papo Lucca (this is history) and probably the ultimative & best Salsa-Live-Band in the world

      New Swing Sextet (Manager is DJ Henry Knowles)
      Wayne Gorbea (simply call him)
      Jimmy Bosch (call him personally)
      Grupo Niche (call EVA from Overcoming for some details)

      Oscar De Leon or even bands like 'Mercado Negro (Europe)'. We had 'LA 33' over here in Germany (Bielefeld) without any problem...

      MUSIC MESSENGERS is in the event (jazz&salsa) circuit since 20 years now and specialised in salsa since the 90s.

      We worked with cuban artists such as NG La Banda, Issac Delgado, Klimax, Adalberto Alvarez y Su Son, Azucar Negra, Manolito y su Trabuco, Conjunto Chapottin, Danden, Elio Reve for cuban orchestras.

      Colombian groups as Grupo GALE, Sonora Carruseles and Grupo Niche .

      Puerto-Rico artists as Gilberto Santa Rosa and Victor Manuel amongst other things.

      Concerning the Sonora Carruseles's concert in Sofia july 07th 2007, we signed a contract with the bulgarian company Elegua represented by Valentin BOZHOV .

      It was established that they will take in charge the internal transportation from the place where we play the day before to Sofia.

      Two weeks before the concert, they didn t find a convenable transportation to be on time for the concert. They didn't respect this point of the contract.

      We proposed them to do the presentation later the same day or delay it for august 2007. It was the only solutions for resolve the situation, they didn't accept none of these propositions.

      Considering that it was their FIRST CONCERT LIVE, they showed none professionalism when they didn't respect few points of the contract.

      We are sorry for the Bulgarian's Sonora Carruseles fans.

      We don't recommend to work with this company at the Latin Tours Promoters in USA, LATIN AMERICANA and EUROPE.

      I don't know what exactly happened in that case, but Jean Morant has always been a very professional, reliable person in this business... and this for years and for sure he will be the same for many years more.
