During Pre-Caju, Bell Marques announces donation of more than 100 thousand bottles of water to institutions in SE

Amid Sergipe's water crisis, singer Bell Marques announced, this Saturday (14), during a performance at Pré-Caju, on the edge of the capital, the donation of more than 100 thousand bottles of mineral water to institutions in Sergipe.

According to him, the state's water situation motivated the team to decide that, during the song 'Joga Água', there should be no waste.

"We didn't throw water, we held a meeting, we're not going to throw water, because Sergipe has a water problem and we need to do the opposite: instead of throwing, donate [...] And for us it was really cool, it's a small way in which we can help at this very critical moment here in Sergipe. This moment, but it could be in my land too, you know? No one is free from going through these situations", he said.

The statement was made during a conversation with TV and FM Sergipe presenters, who broadcast the event. Also there, the artist sang the new song 'Sou Bellzeiro, sim', after an invitation to the Pré-Caju public to participate in the recording of the song.

The chorus of the song 'Sou Bellzeiro, yes' celebrates the fans' relationship with the artist and the tradition of following his shows throughout Brazil and the world: "I am Bellzeiro, yes. I am Bellzeiro of the old testament, of those who follow the trio, of those who tour Brazil and, if necessary, the whole world" - say the lyrics.

With 28 editions held, Pré-Caju remains the only carnival preview in the country with an open circuit, covering around four kilometers. Check out the complete schedule.

Water crisis in Sergipe

With 15 municipalities in an emergency situation due to the drought associated with the El Niño phenomenon, the state still faces the alert level at the Poxim Dam, responsible for 30% of the supply of the capital and cities in the metropolitan region.

As a result, the state government defined water rationing that will begin next Monday (16).
