Guys,
I do mostly engineering job at my own studio and other studios at Buenos Aires, Argentina. Occasionally, I work mixing FOH for some people that likes the way I work. The matter is that all that work is made in my home country where I know what to ask, where and how to ask it. The next year I will probably be on tour with a Tango Company in China, USA and UK. So, although I've already made some riders here, I would like some advice on how to make my rider to Sound Companies in other country's. Also, Do you have a Sample Rider?
Shows will take place mostly in theatres ( 1000-2000 people) the band is a Quintet (Piano, DoubleBass, Elek GTR, Violin, Bandoneon) and there will be Tango Dancers on Stage.
Any advice will be of great help.
Thank you in advance.

P.S.: I would like to post the Rider I already have but I don't know how. Any comments?

It's just text, isn't it? Include it in a "Code" or "List" box in a normal post, unless it's really huge.
