Anita will take another important step in her international career! The interpreter of Girl From Rio was revealed this Tuesday (22) as part of the Global Citizen Festival, a charity event that helps fight extreme poverty around the world. The band Red Hot Chili Peppers and singer Lauryn Hill (ex-Fugees) will be the headliners.
In addition to Anita, the festival will also feature Megan Thee Stallion, Conan Grey, Stray Kids, Sophia Carson and DJ D-Nice. Global Citizen will take place on September 23 in Central Park in the heart of New York. The team of celebrities participating in the campaign includes actors Jordan Fisher, Sophia Bush and Bizzy Phillips, scientist Bill Nye, basketball player Carmelo Anthony, rapper Common and presenter Gayle King, among others.
Previous editions of Global Citizen have already featured artists such as the Foo Fighters, John Legend, Neil Young, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Kings of Leon, John Mayer, No Doubt, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Coldplay, Pearl Jam, There were names like Ed. Sheeran, Fall Out Boy, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Demi Lovato, Metallica, Pharrell Williams, Green Day, The Killers, Janet Jackson, The Weeknd, Shawn Mendes, Cardi B, Queen, Mariah Carey, Charlie Puth and the Jonas Brothers, among others.
In other words: the line-up of the Global Citizen Festival is a true “who’s who” of international music, and the fact that Anita got a place is a huge achievement for the Brazilian. Even Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey attended the event—with engagement messages, but no singing!
Tickets for the festival are free, but need to be “earned” by doing works to aid the anti-poverty movement. Global citizens also want equality and a positive attitude towards the planet, the issue of food and jobs. For those not in New York, it will be broadcast online around the world.
