— Ludmilla NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The BrazilFoundation is thrilled to announce that Ludmilla, the most influential Black artist in Latin America and the most prominent Afro-Latina in music history according to Spotify, will headline its XXI New York Gala. The prestigious event will take place on September 19th, 2024, at the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York City. This year's gala will spotlight themes of solidarity, resilience and social impact, celebrating the transformative power of Brazilian philanthropy as demonstrated by the outpouring of support the foundation received in the wake of the devastating floods in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in the spring.
Born in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Ludmilla's powerful voice and exceptional songwriting skills have made her a revolutionary figure in both Brazilian and international music. Her impressive music career boasts nearly 5 billion streams and close to 15 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Following her celebrated performance as the first Afro-Latina to perform on the main stage at Coachella 2024, Ludmilla’s participation is set to bring an unforgettable energy to the evening.
“I am super excited and honored to join the BrazilFoundation’s XXI New York Gala and celebrate Brazilian solidarity and philanthropy,” said Ludmilla. “The work that the BrazilFoundation has championed over the past 25 years impacts the lives of countless Brazilians and I’m proud to support and represent its mission.”
