Mariah Carey Caps Amazônia Live on Floating Stage in Belém After Rain Delay

The river concert served as a nationally televised push to draw broader support for Amazon preservation ahead of COP30.

Overview

  • An afternoon downpour briefly halted sets by Paraense artists Joelma, Gaby Amarantos, Dona Onete and Zaynara before the live broadcast resumed.
  • Multishow and Globoplay aired the event live across Brazil, with TV Globo scheduled to show highlights later in the evening.
  • Carey delivered a shortened performance, spoke about protecting the forest, and sang hits including My All, Always Be My Baby, Touch My Body and Heartbreaker, plus the new song Type Dangerous.
  • The production featured a 13.2‑ton vitória‑régia–shaped floating stage on the Rio Guamá with about 500 invited guests watching from a balsa grandstand.
  • Organizers positioned the show as mainstream outreach tied to COP30 and cited prior tree‑planting totals, a pledge to plant at least 1 million more trees, and R$2 million in planned local investments.
