MALUMA CELEBRATES EARTH DAY 
WITH MUSIC AND AN ACTIVIST SPIRIT

MIAMI, Florida (April 22, 2021). Global Latin music idol MALUMA celebrates Earth Day today with an activist spirit by taking part in a special event “Earth Day! The Musical” alongside international celebrities such as scientist and TV host Bill Nye as well as Justin Bieber among other artists and environmental activists, where he will speak about the importance of caring for our planet to raise awareness among young people and encourage them to take action to generate changes that will allow us to live in a sustainable world. This virtual event is presented by Earthday.org and will be streamed live on Facebook Watch at noon Eastern time.
 
Maluma continues to develop his environmental efforts hand in hand with his music. This week he released “Rumba”(Puro Oro Anthem), a song he co-wrote with Keityn and Edgar Barrera for the new Michelob ULTRA Pure Goldcampaign for which Maluma is the new brand ambassador. The beer is produced with 100% renewable electricity from solar energy. “Rumba” (Pure Gold Anthem) is the artist’s and the brand’s anthem for Earth Day with a Caribbean vibe and a unique collaboration with the closest star to our planet, as we can listen to real frequencies of the sun that were recorded in this song. Today the artist released the official film for the song which was shot in his hometown of Medellin, Colombia. To watch the it click HERE.
 
Maluma, along with his Foundation El Arte De Los Sueños, also launched a brand new environmental education and social consciousness initiative today – the #SoySoñadorDeUnMundoMejor campaign. Artists and influencers joined his call to action to raise awareness in support of this cause. 

“Considering the challenging times we are living, our generation now must work hard in order to ensure future generations have the opportunity to live in a sustainable world, based on respecting our planet and our only home, its resources and biodiversity,” Maluma expressed upon announcing the release of the campaign.
 
This is not the first time the Latin superstar shows his commitment and contribution to ecological causes. In January, he released his album #7DJ (7 days in Jamaica), with a  cover featuring a portrait created with recycled materials by Colombian artist Federico Uribe. The original artwork was part of a gallery exhibition that was open to the public in Miami, which included other pieces, each one interconnected like the songs on his album, which were auctioned off online with the money raised being donated to non-profit organizations dedicated to ocean and environmental conservation in his native Colombia. 
 
On May 2nd Maluma will headline the virtual festival Reventón de Verano where he will perform songs from his new album #7DJ as well as many of his previous hits for his fans. This show will be broadcast on ReventonLive.com and on their respective social media sites.

If you want to know why Puerto Rican artists are so charismatic and successful, walk through San Juan with us listening to Canción Bonita,” he concluded.

“Canción Bonita is the perfect theme for this collaboration with my brother Carlos Vives. Carlos’s love for Puerto Rico is genuine, and this gives authenticity to the lyrics. It’s a true celebration of our island that has given us so much. I’m sure you’re going to love this song as much as we do,” expressed Ricky Martin.

On Thursday, Vives and Ricky Martin will perform “Canción Bonita” at the 6th Annual Latin American Music Awards.

ABOUT CARLOS VIVES:

Two time GRAMMY® and fifteen time Latin GRAMMY® winner, Carlos Vives is one of the most important figures in Latin music today and is the creator of a new sound based on the traditional music of the Caribbean coast and the northern region of Colombia. Vives’ work as an artist revolves around the study, knowledge and dissemination of the Colombian identity in its many facets and in its complex diversity. In 1993 he formed the band La Provincia as a tribute to musicians from the most remote and rural regions of the Caribbean and as a laboratory for new talents in contemporary music. Vives and La Provincia have traveled around the world, taking the culture and value of Colombian identity to all corners of the world, helping them quickly earn international recognition. His album Vives surpassed 2 billion streams, and was steered by the global hits “La Bicicleta” (Shakira) and “Robarte un beso” (Yatra), which have generated a combined 2.5 billion views on YouTube. His award-winning work “Cumbiana” includes not only an album but also the Latin GRAMMY®-winning documentary “The lost world of Cumbiana”, and the book “Cumbiana, stories of a lost world”, exposing a true creative universe around the origin and the evolution of cumbia. In 2015, he founded the initiative “Tras La Perla” to promote sustainable development in the city of Santa Marta and its region influenced by the Sierra Nevada and Ciénaga Grande. In 2016, he also created the Río Grande Music School with the purpose of offering new artistic experiences based on creating a dialogue around Colombian music and culture, new local music proposals and world music. As his most beloved slogan indicates, “united in diversity”, Carlos Vives has made his mark across generations through music and the relentless and inspired advocacy for his culture.
