Beyonce to lead expanded anti-poverty concert

Launched in 2012, the annual concert coinciding with the UN General Assembly is free for fans who commit to actions aimed at eradicating extreme poverty. Beyonce will be playing one of only two announced shows since the pop superstar ended a world tour last year.
This year’s festival “is especially rewarding as we all join focuses and utilize our talents for one goal: to end extreme poverty globally,” Beyonce said in a statement released Thursday.
The festival, which in the past has been broadcast only in the United States by MSNBC, will aim to reach a worldwide audience through a YouTube livestream, among other broadcast plans.
Beyonce was a surprise performer at last year’s festival during a set by her husband, rapper Jay Z. Another unexpected guest was Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who vowed to improve sanitation for his nation’s poorest.
Leaders of the Global Poverty Project, which spearheads the event, recently traveled to India to meet Modi and discuss collaboration with Indian stars, said Hugh Evans, its chief executive.
Seeking commitments on poverty
The concert will come a day after the United Nations is expected to announce new targets at the end of a 15-year global push against poverty known as the Millennium Development Goals. “The stakes are a lot higher than any previous year,” Evans told AFP.
“There is a huge focus this year on ensuring these new goals are not just a nice wish list for development but are fully financed, and that we actually have the means to ensure that these goals are achieved,” he said.
One goal of the campaign is to ensure that most assistance goes to the world’s poorest. Only 32 percent of US foreign aid goes to least developed countries, according to a recent study. The festival will also seek firm commitments on funding for sanitation, food security and education.
Teenage Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in 2012 for her support of education for girls in Pakistan, on Tuesday urged world leaders to give all children access to 12 years of free education. The cost, she told a forum in Oslo, would be $39 billion — which she described as the equivalent of eight days of global military spending.
The United Nations points to substantial progress in the 15 years since establishing the Millennium Development Goals. Some 836 million people live in extreme poverty, down from 1.9 billion in 1990, and tens of millions of lives have been saved through disease prevention efforts, according to a UN progress report.
But it pointed to persistent problems, including out-of-school children, gender disparities and rising water scarcities which affect 40 percent of the world’s people. The concert aims to put development high on the agenda with young people, at a time of a myriad global crises from Syria to Ukraine and economic uncertainties in China and the eurozone.
Tickets for the concert will be earned by actions against poverty that include calling government offices and, for the first time this year, volunteering. The festival has generated 2.3 million such actions since 2012, organizers said.

I hear songs in my spirit, says gospel artiste
igbunu2Narrating how he found himself in the music sphere, the talented artiste said he was chosen by God to bless people with his melodious voice stressing that music was not a deliberate decision he made to do.
“I didn’t choose music, rather I’ll say God choose me, raised me, gave me a message with melody and sent me to let it out, and I have found out that in doing that, so many lives are blessed and transformed everywhere I go to minister.”
Jefe who described himself as an RnB gospel singer also takes pride in his ability to do songs that cut across every genre of music. “I do not only sing, I rap and do anything imaginable in music to communicate God’s message.”
However, the multifaceted entertainer said he doesn’t sing just for the fun of it, he distinguished himself from the heavy usage of vulgar language, which is predominant among artistes in the country saying his own content is inspired by the spirit of God.
He however acknowledged that he enjoys the songs of Joe Praise, saying he connects with Praise’s songs because he’s unique and anointed.
“I hear songs in my spirit in strange places, sometimes at the bank, airport, park, church, even in my dream and then I wake up and write down the lyrics and record the melody. He noted
What is the artiste’s favourite song among his works so far? Jefe answered, “All my songs are good, but my current single titled “IGBUNU” in the Urhobo parlance which means extra ordinary miracle is mind sizzling. “ Cause everytime I minister the song it provokes the presence of God mightily, faith for the miraculous is inspired. Everyone that has seen the video and heard the song testified on the impact and effect It has on them. Listen to the song, Igbunu
Igbunu is not the conventional day to day song you always hear, it’s an epic song that transcends genre, language, tribe and style that any mind can easily relate with. It has a touch of African and western delivery (A must watch video and a must hear audio). The vocal dexterity and instrumentation is second to none, produced by Gospel finest kelly lyon.” He explained
Remembering how he gathered the needed experience that prepared him for the stage, the gifted artiste who never denied that there are challenges in the music industry for starters however said he found music more appreciable after working with top hands in the industry.
“I won’t forget the impact gospel celebrity producer, Kelly Lyon made in my life. I had an awesome experience with him. He gives perfect interpretation to every idea and working closely with him over the years has made music something more appreciable.” He noted.
For his love for music, the gifted artiste who opted for music after studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Benin, said he’ll pick the profession thousand times if asked to choose another career. “To me, Music is not a hobby; it’s my life’s call. It is an avenue to display my talent and skill and an opportunity to fulfill purpose.”
In order for music to yield profit to stakeholders especially with industry seeing new talents popping up timelessly, Jefe advised that the government should create the enabling laws needed in the creative industry to aid and safeguard artistes from piracy.
