Beyonce, Alicia Keys shoot music video in Rio slum
RIO DE JANEIRO — Grammy Award-winning singers Beyonce and Alicia Keys are filming a music video in Rio de Janeiro.
Sheri Ladner is a publicist with RCA Music Group, which includes Keys’ label, J Records. She says the singers are shooting a video for their duet “Put It In a Love Song.” The song is from Keys’ recently released album “The Element of Freedom.”
Brazilian television on Tuesday showed the singers performing together in front of cameras in the Morro da Conceicao shantytown. Ladner says the video will have scenes recorded at several locations across Rio.
Keys already filmed one segment in Rio’s Dona Marta slum. That shantytown became renowned worldwide after Michael Jackson went there to film the 1996 video “They Don’t Care About Us.”
