“And also a group of fans because, there was a boy who bought the charter that his lady is pregnant for the first time and that the lady, after so long had asked her not to travel,” he explained.
“He was not centralized in a person but was a group of people, That apart what they raised had logic, they were not raising any madness. ‘Why were they going to fix something? but they could do it at this time, they were not going to do it in the 5 minutes that we said we were going back to the aromos, “said President Aurinegro.
“Then we had to make that decision, we were going to leave in the middle of the afternoon next day and after Diego (Aguirre) called me late at night from The aromos And he told me ‘I just talked to the airline people, they would send another flight that would arrive at 7 in the morning’ And he says ‘I like to leave 9 and peak in the morning and leave the planning as it was, train in the afternoon to see how the boys feel’. The morning we were going to be free at the hotel of Cochabambawe use it traveling and sleep here in the aromos that is where we sleep whenever we concentrate. It seemed a good idea and we changed it to leave 9 or 9 and a half, “he said.
