Days ago, the Group 5 was severely criticized for a poster that was projected at one of its performances. ‘Peru’s golden group’ stated in the statement that it was prohibited to make recordings with certain technological items, such as professional cameras, GoPro, tripods, among others. The fact unleashed a wave of negative comments among the orchestra’s fans, who even pointed out that it was better not to attend their concerts.
In the face of controversy, the members of the Group 5 They came out to clarify why they have established this impediment during their interpretations. Christian Yaipén He clarified that it has been determined that certain equipment and accessories cannot be used for the recordings. However, this does not mean that fans will not be able to record their favorite songs from the group with their cell phones. “It is difficult from our side, because we have not wanted to communicate that,” clarified the leader of ‘El grupo de oro del Perú’ in conversation with Radio Panamericana.
Are recordings prohibited at Grupo 5 concerts?
Christian Yaipén He stressed that recordings for personal use are allowed, as fans usually make videos to share on their social networks. However, what they are asking is not to make clips that are intended to be disseminated on platforms and marketed, when the effort is from Grupo 5 itself.
“What we want is to end piracy. What I mean is that it is not right for them to carry a professional camera. There are people who carry tripods, there are people who carry drones, 70-200 lenses. They record, upload it, monetize it and make money at our expense. According to them, they pay an entrance fee and with that they can monetize. That is not right,” he said.
Elmer Yaipén Jr. He agreed with his brother and asked the public to attend the presentations of the Group 5 to respect the measure they have implemented: “It is a music industry where there are rules, where there are laws that must be followed and they must be respected above all. The thing is that people are not informed.” He even called on Peruvian artists in the music industry to join this measure to confront piracy.
Christian Yaipén denies doing playback at Grupo 5 concerts
Christian Yaipén He was also the target of criticism after a video went viral showing technical problems during a Grupo 5 performance. In the clip, the leader of Monsefú’s group stopped singing, but his voice continued to play in the background. In response to what happened, fans accused him of lip-syncing. “It’s not Grupo 5 anymore, they use lip-syncing at every concert,” “I wouldn’t pay 5 soles to see that show,” were some of the comments on social media.
On the other hand, other Internet users defended the vocalist of Group 5 and They claimed that it was a problem with the stage monitoring, which caused the singer to become distracted. “It’s not playback. He simply lost the monitoring… What you hear is a second voice or a backup voice recorded by himself, which is sequenced,” the user said.
For this reason, the leader of ‘The golden group of Peru ‘ He defended himself and sent a message to his detractors: “What happened is super simple and the people of Cajamarca know it. The DJ on the screen starts the intro. The first song ‘You’re not an angel’ starts and the brother forgets to mute the audio on the screen and I said ‘what’s going on?’ I heard everything wrong. I stopped the group,” he said.
