A monumental and free concert which places Madonna a little further in the legend of music. The queen of pop thrilled hundreds of thousands of people on Saturday May 4 on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
For one night, Copacabana beach was transformed into the largest dance floor in the world: an 800m² stage, 1.5 million people, for Madonna’s 40th career during a concert free. “I’m 60, it’s my birthday, Madonna is my whole life“, a fan is moved. “This show means a lot to our LGBT community. Madonna is the greatest diva and she was the first to denounce prejudice”says a man.
Madonna in the colors of Brazil
Earlier in the day, spectators gathered on the beach despite temperatures exceeding 36°C. For the occasion, Madonna dressed in the colors of Brazil. From the boats, in the beach chairs, on the goal cages, the fans don’t miss a beat of the concert. The crowd was overwhelmed with happiness when she began her anthem to resilience, a year after a serious illness which had panicked her admirers.
