DUBAI: Palestinian Chilean singer Elyanna is collaborating with the World Food Programme to raise awareness about the organization’s fundraising efforts for Gaza.
The singer took to social media to encourage fans to donate to the organization, saying: “Grateful to be collaborating with the amazing team at @wfpusa @worldfoodprogramme to support families in Gaza. Your donation big or small can change lives and inspire many.”
Elyanna has used her platform to speak out about the genocide in Gaza and has supported the efforts of charity organizations such as Heal Palestine in the past.
In August, she took to Instagram to share a heartwarming moment with two young Palestinian children at a Coldplay concert, invited through the Heal Palestine.
Heal Palestine, the organization that facilitated the encounter, focuses on supporting Palestinian children and families affected by war and displacement, offering both emergency relief and long-term education initiatives. The group took to their official Facebook page to thank Elyanna.
Elyanna participated in British band Coldplay’s “Music Of The Spheres World Tour” this year, playing in Abu Dhabi and Los Angeles among other destinations.
In April, Coldplay announced that she had again teamed up with the band to release a new version of “Ma Meilleure Ennemie,” a track originally performed by Belgian artist Stromae and French singer Pomme.
The singer will head back to the UAE for this year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix After-Race Concerts on Dec. 5 at the Etihad Park on Yas Island.
The young star is expected to sing some of her most popular tracks, including “Ghareeb Alay,” “Mama Eh,” and her Arabic rendition of “La Vie en Rose.”
Her performance is a part of the Yasalam After-Race concerts, held alongside the Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, one of the UAE’s biggest entertainment and sporting weekends.
Elyanna most recently performed at the Global Citizen Festival in New York on Sept. 27, alongside Colombian superstar Shakira, US rapper Cardi B and South African singer Tyla.
In October, Swedish retailer H&M tapped her for the campaign promoting their latest seasonal collection. In the campaign images, Elyanna shows off a variety of monochromatic looks, including a cream blouse and a black coordinating set with beaded detailing.
