Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada, visited with Afro Reggae representatives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The visit included a meeting youth participants and a performance by Afro Reggae and its Cirque du Monde component.

Afro Reggae is a high-profile Rio-based NGO that has, through its cultural programmes (particularly music), provided youth from favelas options other than a life of crime and drugs. The group initially received important seed money from Canada. One of its numerous projects involves a partnership with the Cirque du Monde network which receives support from the Cirque du Soleil. Afro Reggae is in great demand and recently opened the Rio concert by the Rolling Stones. This summer it will travel to Europe and will also perform at the Toronto Harbourfront.
