Colombian star Maluma champions children's hearing safety during concert performance

During a concert attended by thousands of fans in Mexico City, Colombian singer Maluma paused his performance to address a mother who brought her one-year-old child without ear protection. Image: Instagram Colombian singer Maluma's weekend show in Mexico City took an unexpected turn when he stopped mid-performance to address a mother in the crowd who had brought her one-year-old child without any ear protection. In a moment captured on video and now widely circulating online, the 'Borro Cassette' hitmaker paused the music and spoke directly to the unidentified woman. He said, 'Ma'am, I'm going to tell you something. Don't bring him here; leave him there. With all due respect, I'm already a father. What's he? A year old?' The Grammy-nominated artist went on to question the decision. 'Do you think it's a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are really loud, where the sound is really loud?' he asked, pointing out that the child 'doesn't even know what he's doing here'.

Next Stay Close ✕ Maluma urged the mom to think about the child's well-being at future events. 'Next time, protect his ears or something. That's really irresponsible, and you were waving the baby around like he was a toy. 'That kid really doesn't want to be there,' he said, adding that as a father himself, he 'would never' bring his own child to such an environment. 'So next time, be a little more aware.' Maluma stops his concert in Mexico City to scold a mother who brought her 1-year-old baby without ear protection: 'That is an act of irresponsibility. And you're swinging him around as if he were a toy. That child doesn't want to be there.' — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) August 10, 2025 Hearing safety at concerts has become an increasing point of discussion in recent years, with some adult concertgoers choosing to wear noise-cancelling devices such as AirPods Pro 2, often set to transparency mode, to reduce the impact of high-volume sound systems. If adults take such precautions for their ear health, it is even more important for children's hearing to be protected, as their hearing is still developing, making them more vulnerable to damage. Health organisations warn that a child's hearing is especially sensitive, and prolonged exposure to loud noise at events such as concerts or professional sports games can cause irreversible harm. Parents are encouraged to know the warning signs of noise-induced hearing loss and take preventive measures to safeguard both their own hearing and that of their children.

Cynthia Erivo shines in 'Jesus Christ Superstar' revival

Cynthia Erivo has won widespread acclaim for her powerful portrayal of Jesus in a dynamic new rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar . The British actress and singer took on the role in a much-anticipated three-night production held at the Hollywood Bowl. The show took place in Los Angeles from 1 to 3 August. Her performance captivated audiences, blending vocal strength with a fresh, compelling interpretation of the character, according to The Guardian. The production attracted notable celebrity attendees, underscoring its significance in the theatre world. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber also made a special appearance, which added to the event's prestige and excitement. Directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, with Stephen Oremus as musical director and conductor. The show celebrated the rock opera's legacy while offering a renewed vision for modern audiences. Erivo, a multi-award-winning artist including a Tony, Grammy, and Emmy, embraced the role with confidence. Addressing the criticism over her casting as a Black queer woman in what some viewed as a traditionally male role, she responded, 'Why not?' She emphasised the production's spirit as a vibrant, inclusive celebration of her vocal talents and the musical's enduring message. The show's reimagining of the final days of Jesus Christ through Judas's perspective earned praise for its emotional intensity and social relevance. Cynthia Erivo's portrayal serves as an inspiring example of breaking traditional boundaries in art. It highlighted the importance of diversity and inclusion on stage. Reflecting on her experience, Erivo said, 'This role challenges me as an artist and connects me to audiences in a profound way. It's a reminder that stories like these transcend time and culture.' This production not only honoured a classic musical but also brought a compelling contemporary voice to a global narrative, resonating strongly with diverse audiences, including those in South Africa.
