BALTIMORE, May 9 (UPI) — TIDAL says it will exclusively live-stream audio from Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL’s Mother’s Day Rally 4 Peace benefit concert in Baltimore.
“I am honored to join Prince in his mission to inspire through the uniting power of music and be able to offer a platform where this moment can be shared globally. We invite all to experience the music and contribute in their own way to promote peace, tolerance and understanding,” Jay Z, TIDAL’s owner, said in a statement. “Our prayers go out to Freddie Gray’s family and every family affected by brutality and senseless violence.”
“TIDAL has the ability to create experiences that bring people together,” added Vania Schlogel, senior executive for TIDAL. “We are privileged to partner with Prince so that people everywhere can share in this moment for healing and unity to support Baltimore youth through the power of music. Our dream is to be able to provide a limitless platform for all artists.”
The show is being described by organizers as a “family-friendly event” intended to be “a catalyst for pause and reflection following the outpouring of violence that has gripped Baltimore and areas throughout the United States.”
Prince recently wrote and recorded the song “Baltimore” in response to the civil unrest following the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray while he was in police custody. Six officers have since been arrested.
