You may have noticed that the dates for Elito Revé y Su Charangón in the US conflict with the dates that were previously reported for the Euroepan Summer 2010 Tour. The agency Musicalia has sent out a press release to explain the cancelation and information about the next European Tour.

"The Cuban Agency Musicalia reports that the orchestra Elito Revè y su Charangón  will not make Summer Tour 2010 scheduled for Europe because it canceled the contract for breach, with the company that represented him in that continent. The next tour to Europe was made in the month of October-November 2010, with the launch of his new album De que estamos hablando ".

Our loss is the US fans' gain. But at least we know that the Charangón will be back in Europe this fall following the release of the new album which is hot, hot,hot!
