2 Uniting For 1

Filed under: Music Minute > Inspiration > Bono > Juanes

When celebrities do good!

It's nice to see stars using their fame and money for good.

One such artist is Latinolicous Juanes.

Juanes is joining fellow rocker/humanitarian Bono and several other artists in Japan to help take a stand against world poverty.

He is taking part in two concerts while visiting overseas to support the "One For All Demonstration" which is tied to the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD).

He'll be playing concerts in Tokyo and Osaka.

Earlier today, the concert took place under rain and winds while Juanes joined Bono and other musicians on stage.

The goal is to remind the government about keeping its promise to help people living in poverty.

And it looks like the Japanese have become Juanes fans, as his his single Me Enamora is a Top-5 hit on the radio there. He's singing in Spanish!

    r u kidding me? Bono is an icon!

    Bono is really pretentious and has a God complex.

    A few years ago he complained about the Irish goverment not giving enough aide to African countries yet he has off island accounts and avoids paying tax through loopholes.

    I don't believe in fund-raisers like this. I've seen the actual amounts that go to the cause and its very little. Bono especially rubs me wrong- a rockstar who's trying to deal with world hunger…I'm all for the cause, I just don't believe he's going to be the one to do it.

    nothing like affiliating with anti-poverty's poster child. it's one thing to do great work, but it's another to make sure a photographer is there for every waking second.

    kudos to celebs who aren't out for personal gain.



  35. 35

    They should be doing a concert to help the hundreds of thousands of people in Burma…dumb fucks.

    OMFG. PEREZ YOU TAINT EVERY CELEBRITY OUT THERE WITH YOUR BILE WORDS. JUANES IS TRUELY GOOD PERSON WITH A GOOD MESSAGE AND H HEART SO DO US ALL A FAVOR AND LEAVE HIM OUT OF YOU STUPID B.S. SITE

  38. Bono' says – reply to this


    38

    Bono has been involved in all these idiotic liberal causes for decades and none of the problems he's tried to fix have improved even slightly. He's raised many millions to fight hunger and it hasn't put even the smallest dent in world hunger. The solution is democracy and teaching countries to be self sufficient not a stupid handout.

    of course he's in the top 5!! Juanes is an international superstar!!!

    Japanese are more open-minded justa as latin people and many europeans that can listen to music with lyrics in another language than their own….sorry but Americans would neeeeeeever do that they just "appreaciate " musica in their own language….Music is music and if it can be good in any language….AMERICANS LEARN TO APPRECIATE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC AND GO SEE A FOREIGN MOVIE READ THE CAPTIONS! U DO NOT KNOW WHAT ARE U MISSING!

    Bono is a fake-he hides his estate in a tax shelter & demands that his working-class fans give to his charities, he's phony & just wants pics with powerful figures yet he sided with that crap about African "aid" that was a total fraud, where the rich nations 'forgave' the debts on African nations, like an Enron accountant they faked their help & still screwed over poor nations-much like the bankers & their SIV/mortgage crap. It's like breaking a man's legs & then demanding he run a marathon because he seems to be having trouble walking. That's what they do, late payment: 800% interest hike, on everything too, car home credit cards-that Bankruptcy Act is a godsend to trustslugs………………

    If all these phoney celebrity assholes only gave one half of their money, they would still have enough to live like kings. But instead, their asking other people for their money. It´s a sick world…

  62. yeah r says – reply to this


    62

    Bono is the biggest lying douche ever. Just like Travolta who wants the common man to bike to work to help the environment while he flies one of his many private planes around for shits and grins. Douchebag fake ass celebutards who want all the glory while Joe Average does all the dirty work.

    I just saw Sex and the City at the 12:01 am showing… It was phenomenal!!! So funny, and sad, and wonderful… I'm not going to spoil it for you guys but there were no microphones in the movie Perez just hot purses and hot guys and remember that guy samantha was watching, her neighbor in LA they show us full frontal on him and let me tell you he was well endowed…



  65. 65

    Juanes ROCK, totally! Love Love their music! Whhhoooo!

    Perez,

    Keep the focus of your blog on Anglo-Saxon America, no one is interested in your fellow Cubans really.

    Nothing against cubans or latinos though, just keep your content consistent ya' silly man.

    Who doesn't good ol Bono put his money where his mouth is and starting donating his millions to charity? And if he has even given any, then chances are, it's not a quarter of what he's got. Celebs make me sick. They whore out themselves for all these worthwhile causes and barely give anything to these charities. If they all got off their high horses and donated half of what they have, then a lot of these poor families would actually be looked after.

    So refreshing to see celebrities pre-occupied with the unfortunate plight of others, as opposed to purchasing their next $10,000 handbag or 35 million dollar house. Bono is a wonderful example to others and should be commended, not criticized, EVER!

    Recently saw Juanes in concert in Fresno……rocked it…..as he sang a song he had pictures of wounded people in different countries and it made me cry…..i went there to rock out and have fun and i had to grab a tissue! He is the most talented artist/humanitarian I know. He always puts on a great show!

    It's really cool that you posted this, since I've always looked up to Juanes and what he's done.
    Aside from what you mentioned he's also played a huge part in trying to resolve the problems that Colombia and Venezuela were having a little while back. He organized a concert on the border of both countries (Paz en las fronteras) and sang and invited many other singers. It was a success and it was FULL!
