On Thursday, the artist made a brief trip to Sao Paulo to meet with a group of 24 women in a poor community between 15 and 21, with whom he spoke of the positive values that transmits the Hebrew doctrine of the Kabbalah, which itself is a follower.
According to the mayor, Eduardo Paes, at a dinner last night with the artist took home the Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista, invited her to give a concert in Rio de Janeiro the night of 31 December 2010 and Madonna agreed.
Versions of local media reported today that at that dinner the artist, who must end his visit, he received a hefty cash contribution to their social Batista.
