I stumbled accross this photos of Nelly performing in Barbados, these relate to performance in the recent interview she did with Entertainment Tonight Canada. From the details it seems that Nelly was performing with the Philosopher Kings. Nelly Furtado and Jarvis performed a Bob Marley cover together.

We’re hipper than Berlin, but that’s not really saying much
Our choices for who should be added to spice up roster
Is it just us, or is the lineup for the Canadian Live8 concert something of a sloppy-seconds serving of classic or neo-classic rock, Central Canuck roots acts and some London and Los Angeles visitors? At least the bookers managed to find a few actual African bands to perform, including tasty rapper K’Naan and the Juno Award-winning African Guitar Summit featuring Van’s very own Alpha Yaya Diallo.
But where’s the edge? The urban, and the youth-market acts?
Sure, our lineup is waaaaay hipper than Berlin’s, but we can do better.
Apparently, three acts remain to be booked for our show in that rock ‘n’ roll centre of Barrie, Ont. After careful consideration, here’s who we’d like to see fill out the roster.
Nelly Furtado: Uh, hello. After “Forca” became an anthem of the last Euro 2004 Cup, Nelly’s hotter than ever. And she’s actually one of those rare artists with a worldwide following in two languages: English and Portuguese.
K-OS: A complete package. He brings the funk, the fun and a social conscience in line with the event’s stated goals. He’s also an artist that could appeal to the under 50s in the audience who’ll be stifling yawns through all that dull Ontario roots music and those Maritime drinking songs.
Rush: Anyone who’s travelled the globe knows that this trio is arguably our most successful cultural export. From the Kalahari to the top of Kilimanjaro and all jungles in between, there are fans who know that there is trouble in the forest. Plus, there could be a really, really long drum solo in the set for guest percussionists to jam on.
“First of all… happy new year to you all!! my year started amazingly to the sound of our beautiful girl!! yep i was there, in albufeira and it was amazing. with this concert it was my third one and i have to say nelly is getting better everyday. she was soooo happy, she was always smiling and she sang beautifully, i’ve never heard her singing so well… i took lots of pictures and make some videos, cuz i was lucky enough to watch the rehearsal too in the afternoon and it was even greater. it’s good to see how simple and down to earth Nelly is.” ~ Ines

Nelly Performing at the Urban Aids Concert - [Enlarge Pic]
By Chris Santos
Urban AIDS Concert
Ricoh Coliseum
Toronto, ON
29th Nov 04
The Urban AIDS Concert took place Monday night at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto. Alicia Keys headlined the show that brought together some of the top names in the Canadian urban music scene, with proceeds going to the Stephen
Lewis Foundation and Keep a Child Alive.
Nelly Furtado appeared at the end of the Swollen Members set, and joined the group for ‘Breath.’ This was the first time they performed the song together in front of a live audience.
The Swollen Members then left the stage for Nelly to perform an acoustic, slower version of ‘Powerless (Say What You Want).’ Her voice was in top shape, belting out the final notes with so much power and soul - it reminded me of her performance at the VH1 Divas Live in New York. She was joined by former Philiosopher King James McCollum on guitar. She was also joined by Jully Black, a local R&B/hip hop artist.
Other performers throughout the night included Keshia Chante, k-os, and Melanie Durrant. Guest speakers included the United Nations’ special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa - Stephen Lewis, Olympic hurdler Perdita Felicien, singer Molly Johnson, Canadian Idol judge Farley Flex and Grey Cup Champions Mike ‘Pinball’ Clemons and Damon Allen of the Toronto Argonauts.
Nelly has had a good track record of helping out with the AIDS crisis. In 2001, she joined Alicia Keys and a host of other top performers of Artists Against AIDS Worldwide in the remake of Marvin Gaye’s 1974 classic, ‘What’s Going On.’ In 2002, she was originally scheduled to perform at the South African AIDS benefit concert, which was unfortunately cancelled due to production complications.
Organisers of the Urban AIDS concert ran into no such problems and hope to make the show an annual event - leading up to the International AIDS Conference in August 2006 which will be hosted in Toronto.
It’s inspiring when artists with political and humanitarian awareness can take the time to help make a difference. Together, they can raise much needed awareness and political pressure for AIDS and HIV-related issues in Africa and around the world.
