The music producer and composer Nacho Cano attended the program Four Code 10 to talk about the conflict he has with the one who was one of the scholarship recipients for his musical, Malincheand the audios were broadcast in which Lesly Ochoa demands money as compensation for being expelled from the scholarship program.
In the audios, the young Mexican meets with a lawyer from the musical and with the director of the scholarship program, to whom she assures that He wants compensation for the money he would have earned in Mexico and that he stopped receiving for having gone to work in Spain on the Nacho Cano musical.
After offering to pay for his return flight and agreeing to pay him 50,000 pesos (2,288 euros) as compensation, she changes her speech and He assures that to return to Mexico he wants double, 100,000 pesos (4,500 euros) for “her reputation” and because it would be “a cushion” for her. But later, the amount rises to 6,000 euros, something that those responsible for Malinche refuse.
“Come on, this is extortion,” the musical’s lawyer ends up saying. “It would be worse if I sued for all the treatment they gave me, for all the humiliation“says Lesly Ochoa, who assures that her mother has “all the videos” that would demonstrate this treatment.
A few days later, the former intern denounced Nacho Cano for allegedly hiring immigrants in an irregular situation for his musical Malinche. An accusation about which the musician showed a report from the Ministry of Labor that agrees with Canoconcluding that there is “no irregularity.”
“The activity of trainee dancers is limited to non-regulated training. They do not have to be registered with Social Security“says the report from the Ministry of Labor shown by Nacho Cano in Code 10.
On the other hand, audios could be heard in which the former intern regrets all the controversy and asks for a new opportunity, as she assures that when she arrives in Mexico she will be banned from working there. Given that, Nacho Cano offers to recommend it: “What I can do is talk to people who could, perhaps, give you a job here. I have no problem doing that. Nobody here wants to hurt you,” Cano says in the conversation.
“On the part of the company, they have given you several plane tickets, they have given you a hotel… Everything that can be done to help you make your return as smooth as possible. It is on our side to help you“insists the producer, when the young woman assures that she supports her family in Mexico.
“Give me another chance,” asks the artist, thanking Nacho Cano and ensuring that she tried to “live up to” her project, while praising the musician. “I admire you very much“, he tells her, in addition to ensuring that “he is a genius, a great creative” and that working with him “was a dream” that “they are taking away from him.” Despite these conversations, the young woman decided to denounce the producer shortly after.
Furthermore, Nacho Cano assured that he has been afraid of going to jail for this whole matter. “Yeah. I’ve thought about it a couple of times, because there were a couple of times I thought it was going to happen.“, he assured, although he also made it clear that if it had happened “he would write a musical.” “I’m sure it would be very good because I have sometimes been collaborating for prisons and there are people who sing very well and I have stories,” he added.
