Singer Mariah Carey may come to the island for the first time in September or November this year, to perform at the Coliseo José Miguel Agrelot of Puerto Rico. The information was confirmed by producer Maritza Casiano who manages the contract for the world-renowned artist.
“For several months we have been in discussions with representatives of the singer to perform in Latin America, in order for this event to open our billboard shows to raise the necessary funds for the first one of a kind Training Center for Autistic Children and Youth in Puerto Rico, to be built in Hato Rey. A project that I will be working this year and next year, ” said the president of Casiano Group.
Although the contact is not yet signed, Casiano has identified two dates to accommodate the schedule of the singer throughout Central and South America.
“There is already a verbal commitment and hope that the contract is signed in the coming days,” she said.
The producer said that while her intentions are to raise funds for the Training Center, they have not asked for any donation from the singer.
“We’re not asking people to donate anything; we are trying to make the event accessible to the vast majority of Puerto Rico to attend in mass at reasonable prices that we offer, and thus be able to fill to capacity to raise the necessary funds for this purpose.”
We all know that Mariah Carey was in love with this country since she dated singer Luis Miguel. Her most recent trip was to celebrate her birthday in March with her husband Nick Cannon at the Hotel Conquistador in Fajardo.
“2010 appears to be the year of icons on the island, first Paul McCartney and now the performance of the singer who holds the Guinness record as the artist who has sold the most albums on the planet next to Celine Dion,” said Casiano.
