Pamela López said the owners of Peruvian cumbia band La Bella Luz ignored her request to book the group for her nightclub, months after she says she helped launch the band's career. López made the claim on the podcast 'Nadie sabe,' speaking out after a complaint from Naldy Saldaña.
López said she first met members of La Bella Luz at a gathering she attended with Christian Cueva, at a time when the band was promoting its song 'Niña tonta' and trying to build recognition. She said she took Cueva's phone and livestreamed the performance on her own Instagram account.
According to López, the video reached an unexpectedly wide audience and gave the band major exposure. She said the band members were still just starting out and becoming known at the time. She said the clip went superviral and that La Bella Luz began receiving invitations to perform at different venues the very next day.
López said the band's owner, Óscar Custodio, and his wife personally thanked her at the time for the exposure, which she said led to new bookings and contracts for the group.
Nightclub request went unanswered
López said the situation changed after she opened her own nightclub, La Cueva de Kitty Pam, and needed to book performers for the venue. She said she reached out to La Bella Luz's representatives hoping for a positive response.
She said her request never received attention. Time passed, she opened the nightclub La Cueva de Kitty Pam, she needed them, she wrote to them, and to this day her message remains marked as seen without a reply, López said.
