Rosalia, among the stars of the Global Citizen party in New York

New York, August 11 (EFE). Spanish singer Rosalia is among the stars to lead the Global Citizen Gala in New York, a solidarity event to end extreme poverty and fight climate change that also includes Mariah Carey, the Jonas Brothers groups Metallica and Maneskin.

The UN-organised concert, which usually gathers around 60,000 people in Central Park, will take place on September 24, a few days after Rosalia arrives at the Big Apple with her “Motomami” tour, which is scheduled for September 18. and September 19 at Radio City Music Hall.

Mickey Gayton and Charlie Puth will also sing at the ceremony, who expressed on Twitter their happiness to participate in the festival of music and activism, which coincides with the United Nations General Assembly every year and celebrates its tenth anniversary.

Global Citizen Ambassador Priyanka Chopra will host the concert in New York, which will be broadcast and broadcast live around the world on ABC, ABC News Live, FX, Hulu, iHeartRadio, TimesLIVE, Twitter and YouTube, among others, according to a statement from its organizers.

Parallel to Global Citizen in New York, a simultaneous edition will be held at Black Star Square in Accra, Ghana, to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the nation’s independence and the 20th anniversary of the African Union, with Usher among the participants.

From heavy metal champions and R&B pioneers, to activists and world leaders working for change, this year’s Global Citizen Festival campaign is part of Global Citizen’s overarching goal: End Extreme Poverty Now.

It also notes that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has exacerbated inequality and poverty, with as many as 323 million people now facing extreme hunger, and 1.2 billion people living in countries experiencing food, energy and financial crises.

“Decades of systemic and humanitarian political failures have led to rapid deterioration and converging crises: climate, hunger, health, war and conflict. The most marginalized populations are paying the price for our leaders out of action, and now millions and millions of lives.” Hugh Evans, co-founder and CEO of Global Citizen, said in the statement that The future of our planet is at stake.

Last year, actress and singer from New York Jennifer Lopez participated in the festival
