The Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, will be in charge of presenting the keys of the city to “El Sonero de la Juventud” this Wednesday, August 21st. 

“With great humility I thank Mayor Adams for this recognition and for allowing me to meet again with the Hispanic public of New York City, in an event as significant as 'Rise-Up'. I am very excited to present my show and I hope that my Latino brothers and sisters will come together to celebrate a night full of music and energy,” said Victor Manuelle in a statement, according to El Nuevo Dia. 

The artist's celebration, where he will be awarded the “Key to New York City Artists”, will be part of the Rise Up NYC summer concert series, an initiative that offers New Yorkers free outdoor concerts in the city's five boroughs.

Adams announced that for this third installment the concerts will be produced in collaboration with the Mayor's Office and Globe Star Media, with the goal of inspiring New Yorkers to come together and lift up the city through music.
