IN CASE U MISSED IT: ALICIA KEYS PERFORMS LIVE ON “WORLD AIDS DAY”!

In recognition of “World AIDS Day” Alicia Keys held a benefit concert yesterday at NYC’s Nokia Theatre, raising awareness about the AIDS epidemic as well as promoting her new album The Element of Freedom. The songstress sang a few classic tunes, “Falling”, “You Don’t Know My Name”, and “Diary” as well as new tracks  from The Element of Freedom. Alicia also surprised fans by bringing out the King of New York Jay-Z to end the show with NY’s anthem “Empire State of Mind”.

Continuing with her mission to “Keep a Child Alive”, the Grammy-winning singer is launching a contest that will give five people an opportunity to visit the motherland with her. Alicia claims her first visit Africa “totally changed” her life–so she wants to share her life changing experience with others. Awww, how sweet! She says,

“Going to Africa was unbelievable for me. I was probably like 19 or something. I was able to see the great separation between have and have not. I was able to see the incredible spirit of people. I was able to learn firsthand about the AIDS pandemic of Africa.”
