Legendary Artist Carlos Vives Surprises Colombian Youth with Unforgettable Visit
SANTA MARTA, Colombia, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SANTA MARTA, Colombia – Iconic Colombian singer and songwriter Carlos Vives made an surprise visit today to a group of young musicians in his hometown of Santa Marta. The youth, who participate in programs operated by the global nonprofit Children International, were in the middle of a rehearsal when the beloved artist walked in singing along to one of his most famous songs, 'La Tierra del Olvido.' The orchestra members – youth between the ages of 8 and 19 – are part of Children International's Colombia Wind Orchestra. Their rehearsal came to a sudden halt as the students erupted in cheers upon seeing and hearing Vives. Vives secretly planned today's visit in coordination with Children International Colombia staff after the nonprofit posted a video in early July, in which members of the youth orchestra shared how much he inspired them, then performed one of his signature songs. The video quickly gained attention on social media, ultimately reaching Vives and his team, who contacted Children International and asked to arrange a meeting. 'When I saw the video of the youth inviting me to sing with them, it was the first encounter I had with the orchestra. It was very exciting,' Vives said. 'And seeing them be part of an orchestra, seeing them empowered, is very important to me, because music is a wonderful tool that helps us express who we are.' Widely celebrated for blending traditional Colombian vallenato with contemporary pop and rock, Vives' career spans more than three decades. He is one of Latin America's most beloved and influential artists, known for honoring his Colombian heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern Latin music – earning him global acclaim and numerous accolades, including multiple GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® Awards. 'His visit is an incredibly meaningful moment for our youth and our staff,' said Hermelinda Guarin Restrepo, Country Director of Children International Colombia. 'It will encourage them to dream bigger and reach higher.' Children International's Santa Marta community center was an ideal location for the global superstar's visit, given that it's not too far from where Vives lived during his childhood. Additionally, the Colombia Wind Orchestra, funded primarily by the Sally and Dick Roberts Coyote Foundation, is a part of Children International's child and youth development programming that is unique to Colombia. 'We are convinced that through music, children and youth develop lifelong skills – teamwork, self-esteem, responsibility, communication, creativity, empathy and respect, among others,' said Guarín Restrepo of Children International Colombia. 'Being part of an orchestra also allows them to build strong friendships in safe, supportive environments.' Once the initial excitement began to settle, orchestra members performed a series of pieces for Vives over the course of an hour. He offered them feedback, shared stories from his own youth as a music lover, and connected with the students in a way they'll never forget. The visit was especially meaningful for Children International staff given Vives' longstanding commitment to youth empowerment through his own nonprofit organization, Fundación Tras La Perla, which promotes sustainable social and cultural development for children and families in Santa Marta and the surrounding region. 'His dedication to his nonprofit, Fundación Tras La Perla – and now to Children International – is a gift to the children and youth of this entire community,' Guarín Restrepo said. 'Today he left a mark that will inspire and empower these young people to break the cycle of generational poverty – and to one day give back themselves.' About Children International Children International is a global nonprofit organization that delivers child and youth development programs to help break the cycle of generational poverty. With operations in 10 countries — including the United States, where it is headquartered, and Colombia — the organization uses a personalized approach to provide access to healthcare, education, mentorship, and life and job skills to help young people thrive through the first two decades of life and prepare for sustainable employment.

Singer slams Trump administration for using her song to promote deportations
The singer behind the summer's viral TikTok sound is speaking out against its latest adopter: the Trump administration. Jess Glynne, the 35-year-old British singer whose 2015 song "Hold My Hand" plays in the background of the U.K. budget airline Jet2's widely parodied commercial, hit back against the White House's decision to get in on the social media trend. "This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate," the Grammy-winning artist wrote in a July 30 Instagram story. The message was written next to a screenshot of the White House's post, whose caption read "When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. ✈️🎶 Nothing beats it!" In the Trump administration's video, people are escorted out of a van and marched onto a plane while their hands and ankles are handcuffed. Though federal agents' faces are blurred, the detainees' faces are not. USA TODAY has reached out to Jet2 for comment. The 2024 Jet2 TV commercial, which has blown up on TikTok with nearly 2 million videos using the audio, features British actress Zoë Lister heartily declaring, "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday. And right now, you can save £50 per person! That's £200 off for a family of four." Know your meme: The Jet2 holiday audio, explained In an interview with NBC News, Lister called the trend "really funny and joyful." Many users feature the upbeat sound in their videos juxtaposing it with a horrifying vacation incident or a funny, candid moment. One post depicts a traveler standing in a construction zone after allegedly being stranded in Croatia because their hotel "hasn't actually been built yet." Another shows a person spraying a fire extinguisher around an airport terminal after attempting to sneak on an airplane. President Donald Trump has vowed to carry out mass deportations of unauthorized immigrants, citing threats to public safety. However, there are reports of people, including schoolchildren, farm workers, and those who are married to U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents without criminal records also being targeted by the Department of Homeland Security.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner Spent His Final Moments Swimming With His Daughter Before Tragically Drowning
Heartbreaking new details are emerging surrounding the death of "Cosby Show" actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who drowned in Costa Rica in July 2025. Malcolm-Jamal Warner Was Swimming With His Young Daughter Before Drowning In Costa Rica According to ABC News, police told the publication that Warner, who starred in "The Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992, was swimming with his daughter, 8, in Costa Rica when he suddenly drowned. The report further states that surfers in the area spotted Warner and his daughter in distress in the water and rushed in to offer aid. The surfers reportedly brought both Warner and his daughter to shore, where the actor, who was 54, received 45 minutes of CPR. A spokesperson from the Forensic Pathology Department later confirmed through an autopsy that Warner's cause of death was "asphyxiation by submersion," ruling it accidental. Malcolm-Jamal Warner Kept His Daughter And Wife Out Of The Spotlight The new report regarding Warner's final moments with his daughter is particularly poignant because the actor, who also went on to win a Grammy for spoken word poetry, tried his hardest to keep his immediate family out of the spotlight. During a previous appearance on the "Hot & Bothered" podcast, Warner opened up about not initially wanting to get married or have children; however, a date with his wife changed his perspective. "At some point, I was like, if I'm going to have a kid, this is the person that I would want to have it with," Warner said. "I also realized that if something happened and we weren't together romantically, she would still be the person I would want to raise a child with, co-parent with." Warner also discussed his desire to keep their identities private, saying, "I talk about my wife and daughter, but obviously I don't post them." He continued, "I talk about them because they are obviously the hugest parts of my life, the best parts of my life, the best decisions I've ever made, but I also like to keep them and their identity private." Fans Are Heartbroken Over Malcolm-Jamal Warner's Sudden Passing Warner's sudden passing has left fans struggling to come to terms with the news, resulting in an outpouring of tribute posts across the internet. One commenter wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, "I cannot even believe this. I am over here SOBBING." Someone else wrote, "I think what hurts most about Malcolm-Jamal Warner is that he was a GOOD person. A good human being. You never heard anything negative about him." Another user shared an emotional post, calling Warner a "gentle giant." They added, "Today, we lost a gentle giant. A man who won our hearts not by force, but by quiet grace. From the very beginning, Malcolm-Jamal Warner reminded us that being calm, classy, sophisticated, and soulful could carry you far in life." Celebrities Share Their Emotional Reactions To The Unfortunate News And Warner's fans aren't the only ones finding the news difficult. Several of Warner's co-stars, such as Raven-Symoné, who joined the cast of "The Cosby Show" in 1989, have also shared their heartfelt tributes. In the video, Symoné, 39, can be heard sharing an emotional message about Warner over a black screen that featured the words, "I love you." "Words cannot describe the pain and the sadness and surprise that I feel with the recent loss of MJW," Symoné said. "He was the big brother, he was a beacon, he was one of the most multifaceted, talented men. So gentle, and my heart and soul and hugs, and kisses go out to his daughter and his wife, and his mother." "He gave the best advice, he gave the best hugs, and his smile will always be a huge, bright f-cking white smile in my head forever," Symoné continued. "I love you, and I know you're watching over all of us now. Bye, Malcolm." Warner's "Malcolm & Eddie" co-star, Eddie Griffin, shared a similar message in his Instagram Stories, writing, "My Big little brother." Other Celebs Join In Bill Cosby also released a message about Warner's passing through his representative, comparing the loss to the death of his own son, Ennis Cosby, who was killed in California in 1997. "This reminds me of the call I got when I was taping 'The Cosby Show' and I got a call saying that my son, Ennis, had been murdered," Cosby's rep shared. "It's just devastating."
