On a night full of glamor and celebration, Group 5 was in charge of entertaining Richard Acuña’s mother’s birthday in Trujillo and became the center of attention. This exclusive event, which was attended by prominent figures of national entertainment such as Ethel Pozo and Janet Barboza, demonstrated once again why Grupo 5 continues to be one of the favorites for large-scale events.
In addition to delivering a memorable performance, Christian Yaipén and his orchestra also demonstrated the high cachet that justifies their fame and demand. According to sources from the ‘America Today’ program, the sum that the family Acuna paid for this performance was truly remarkable. Find out more below.
How much would Group 5 have earned?
Hiring Grupo 5 for a private event is a sign of a high-profile event, especially when it involves a public figure like Richard Acuña. The orchestra, which has filled stadiums and plazas across the country, has a fee commensurate with its popularity and its ability to attract and entertain large crowds. For this particular event in Trujillo, according to information from ‘Magaly TV, la firma’, Group 5 would have received 250,000 soles.
This figure is not random. In 2022, Jimmy Yaipén revealed that, depending on the format and duration of the show, the group could adjust its rates. Usually, they offer two-hour presentations with a repertoire of 15 songs, which adjusts the cost considerably, although on this occasion, due to the magnitude of the event and the extended duration, the price was higher.
The reaction of the guests upon seeing Group 5
Despite the impressive musical display and the fame of Group 5, the reactions of those in attendance were mixed. During the orchestra’s entrance, few expressions of enthusiasm were evident among the guests, a scene that contrasts with the usual energy that Grupo 5’s music usually generates. Samuel Suarez Instarándula administrator, commented that he personally would have enjoyed the opportunity to dance to the rhythm of their songs.
“I was going through Brunella’s stories and this is what I don’t agree with. I see that Group 5 is giving everything on stage, imagine Group 5 on your birthday, that is, they were giving everything, and they were all sitting down, like the music accompanies them. I would be in the middle there, standing, dancing, rocking all the way down. The dance floor is empty, everyone is sitting there, enjoying dinner as if listening to the music. Can any of you stand up and dance on the floor? Very stupid I think, too ‘fineolis’ to get up from his place. Surely the caviar that was on the table was delicious, ha, ha, ha! It hurt me to see Group 5 giving everything and everyone sitting there, no one was on the dance floor,” commented the journalist.
