Karol G announces $1.2m for Colombia earthquake victims
Colombian singer Karol G, together with her Fundación Con Cora foundation, announced a commitment to provide $1.2 million during the Colombia: Voices for Life charity concert in Bogotá. The funds are intended to help people who were injured or forced to leave their homes because of the earthquake in Colombia.
Participation via video link
According to The Rio Times, the concert took place on August 23, 2026, at the Vive Claro Distrito Cultural venue in Bogotá. Karol G did not take the stage but joined the live broadcast via video link. The amount was announced by the broadcast hosts.
The official broadcast was shown on the YouTube channel of Colombian broadcaster RCN. Maluma, Sebastián Yatra, Manuel Turizo, Greeicy, and Pedro Capó, among others, performed live at the concert.

Discrepancy in amounts
The Rio Times reported that $1.2 million was the amount announced on behalf of Karol G and Fundación Con Cora. At the same time, during the broadcast, the hosts named $1 million as the contribution from the foundation itself. The same figure was reported by Colombian outlet Pulzo.
Before the concert began, the campaign had already raised more than 3.5 billion Colombian pesos, or about $1.15 million. The final amount raised following the event was not published. Separately, Fábrica de Licores de Antioquia provided 55,000 hydration drinks to those affected; this aid was not connected to the concert.
