I just realized that Z103.5 FM was promoting the Aventura event...but they haven't say anything about the cancelation....

I can't believe this!!! Press Release: Roxy Club in Boston FROM JOHNNY MARINES, AVENTURA’S MANAGER February 20, 2006 First of all, Aventura extends its sincere apologies to its loyal fans, many of whom traveled long distances just to attend the show at the Roxy in Boston. In my own words, I would like to explain what really happened: Because the contractual language contained all Engagement Agreements entered into between Wilson Sanchez Entertainment and any contractor grant the group the first option to close the event, Anthony, who travels separately had not yet arrived. Since he knew the band was scheduled to close, his arrival time coincided with the second set. In the meantime, since 10PM, Frank Reyes had been sitting in his limo behind the Roxy. Though he had been informed that Anthony was still on the road and therefore the group could not open, he didn’t demonstrate any intention to perform or to cooperate as professionalism would require. I then met with the promoter Rafael Jaime and Jesus from Frank Reyes’ management team, and I explained to them that there was no way possible to get Anthony on stage for another hour. Jesus refused to call Frank Reyes to open the event. Time passed. Finally, Aventura went on stage and began playing the introduction while waiting for Anthony who, by then, was to arrive within the next ten minutes. At this point, the crowd got desperate and their behavior became violent. They started to throw their drinks and plastic cups at the musicians. Thinking only about the safety of the musicians, I ordered everyone off the stage. I myself watched Super Canal Caribe (El Poder de las 12:00) earlier today and was shocked to hear Frank Reyes’ manager Sergio Santiago come on the air live and state that the audience did not want Aventura to perform and that they were screaming for Frank Reyes. Personally, this is the most absurd, ridiculous comment I have ever heard. If we had not been needed to pack the club, why would the promoters have paid aventura 3 times what Frank Reyes charges? I question the motives behind Frank Reyes’ management team and its false assertions on television. Undoubtedly they are utilizing this sad event to obtain media hype. It would behoove them to consider the fact that Aventura sells millions of records around the world. We are an international group that has innovated bachata and taken it to a new level, exposing it to audiences throughout the world and opening doors to traditional artists. How much more does Aventura have to accomplish in order to obtain its due respect? All in all, opening or closing a show doesn’t matter to us – what is important is that we give a great performance for our audience which deserves the best after paying to see and hear a great show. Sincerely, Johnny Marines *** So now they put blame on FRANK REYES because Anthony was late :weirface: **

SO IN OTHER WORDS ANTHONY IS TOO GOOD TO TRAVEL WITH THE BAND!!! WHAT KINDA OF A GROUP (NO "I" IN GROUP) IS THAT???? NOW THAT JUST SAYS ALOT ABOUT THEM IM ACTUALLY GLAD AFTER READING ALL THIS THAT THEY DIDNT PERFORM!

@ Cookie
Thanks for the info girl!  Good research.....
I don't think they were blaming FRANK REYES though....Frank Reyes himself should not have made that comment....
Funny thing is....I heard the EXACT same thing about ANTHONY "Romeo" here in Canada.....that he was the missing member.....so they never performed....

THAT'S WRONG!!!!! I agree girl.....everything about this situation is wrong... - no valid explanation, only a million different versions on the cancellation y AVENTURA no da la cara.... - the promoter is not paying the Toronto stores back so the people can get a refund, screwing the stores over financially and the people being ripped off royally - Confu and her people in TO have hustled literally for FREE   I know for a fact than when a show was cancelled by Marcelo Addax....he paid everyone ALL the money they spent on tickets....to save his re****tion and credibility......but why would a MTL promoter care about that right?     That's messed up they better return people money or i think dreams production is going to get screwed................... NO GOOD

Like I said before, I don't care about my money loss.....especially when there are people who lost over thousands.....stores included....IT'S THE PRINCIPLE....

And yes....for such issues in the Latin Entertainment industry.....el gordo y la flaca is the most watched show....and they always inform their viewers of concert cancellations worldwide....so why should Canada be an exception.....

i only ask because a lot of promoters in many different scenes have chinzed out on work permits because it costs a bunch of money and has to be done ahead of time / is annoying.. and then the artists cross the border "as tourists" and sometimes there's issues.. seen it happen many times.

---

You're right.....and funny thing is....9 out of 10 promoters do this to save a few bucks.....

But it wasn't the case for AVENTURA.....they were physically here in this country over the weekend.....with their band and instruments.....they just somehow POOF! ended up not performing LOL
