Producer does not have guards to ensure the safety of the attendees. Our disposition and desire was always its realization, but in front of this scenario, it would be an irresponsibility to authorize the event. pic.twitter.com/GO60lxb7Q1—Intendencia OHiggins (@IntendenciaLBO) October 5, 2019The letter issued by the organization confirmed the news. “We have to communicate something terrible to them to them, and to many of them. The final cancellation of La Cumbre 2019”, begins writing. After that, he adds that “in this way, this project that has tried to push, defend and create value around Chilean music for more than 12 years, comes to an end. We succumb to free events, which undermined the foundations of our proposal (just the reverse, cultivating value, and narrowing the perception gap between domestic and foreign artists).” Organizers added that “this year has been tremendously adverse to us, and we work tirelessly to turn it around.” The organization highlighted the work they jointly carried out to the municipality of Rancagua and the Regional Council of O’Higgins. “They gave us financial support (not all we needed, but very valuable and appreciated), and accompanied us to look for resources in the region as well, which after much effort we could not get.” He adds the writing that, “unfortunately, we were “dropped” a very important contribution in this last week, which ended up burying our hopes.” About what has been in the last few hours, the letter says so. “We gave everything, we put the whole heart, all our human and economic resources to make this work. We got to the end, the finished montage, the artists tried sound, but… about to reach the finish line, we didn’t make it. And we lost everything.” And it goes on, with the end of the project assumed. “We want to apologise to our fans, our dear and admired musicians, our entire stalwart and talented team who have accompanied us for years; to our sponsors, sponsors, to the media that always accompanied us, to all those who believed in this dream that is broken today, and this look of the world that today has to assume its failure.” At the end of the text, add the organizers. “‘The Summit is not to blame. It is a non-profit project, which seeks a noble and dignified purpose. Surely someone else in the future will embrace this initiative, and take it to the next level, where we didn’t know how to get. We take full responsibility, and surely very difficult times will come for us as managers and as drivers of this project.”
