Mariah Carey Sings for the Amazon: A Star-Studded Call to Action

Mariah Carey, the iconic pop star, took the stage in Belem, Brazil, not just to perform but to send a strong message. She was part of a two-day event called "Amazon Live - Today and Forever", which aimed to highlight the importance of protecting the Amazon rainforest. The concert was special because it was held on a floating stage shaped like a giant water lily on the Guama River.

A Unique Performance

Carey, known for her powerful voice, sang her hits to a crowd that couldn't see her directly but watched from a different spot. She wore a sparkling red dress and started the show with "Sugar Sweet", urging everyone to support the rainforest. This wasn't her first time in Brazil; she had performed in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro before. The event also featured local female artists from the Amazon, adding a personal touch to the cause.

Belem Prepares for COP30

Belem is gearing up for a big event in November: COP30, the U.N. climate summit. This will be the first time the summit is held inside the Amazon, bringing together world leaders, business people, and climate activists. Carey's concert was a warm-up, showing that even before the big talks, people are already thinking about the future of the Amazon.

Organized by Rock World

The concert was organized by Rock World, the company behind big music festivals like Rock in Rio and The Town. Carey had just performed in Sao Paulo at The Town, where she captivated over 70,000 fans. Her visit to Belem was another chance to use her star power to raise awareness about the environment.
