Maluma, the Columbian singer who has 2 billion followers, hit Good Morning America this morning on abc. He's even sung in person in Israel already. He chose the stage name Maluma, which is a combination of the first syllable of the names of his mother Marlli, his father Luis and his sister Manuela. His real name is Juan Luis Londoño Arias (born 28 January 1994), known professionally as Maluma, is a Colombian rapper and singer. Born and raised in Medellín, he developed an interest in music at a young age, recording songs since age sixteen. Maluma possesses a tenor vocal range. Maluma defines his music as "urban pop".
Italians in the past such as Enrico Caruso (1873-1921) and Luciano Pavarotti (1935-2007) have been the outstanding tenors. Maybe Maluma is it for this generation.
At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Maluma left a live TV interview broadcast on Israeli public television after the reporter suggested he could be accused of whitewashing Qatari human rights abuses. It's refreshing that Human Rights has selected someone else besides Israel to find fault with, and this looks bad for Qatar.
Maluma may not know that Marrano Jews (Jews hiding the fact that they were Jews because of the Spanish Inquisition that would kill them), settled in Barranquilla and Cali, Colombia early in the 16th century, but were eliminated by the Inquisition.
Some Jews returned in the middle of the 19th century but came in number only after World War I when immigrants arrived from eastern Europe, Palestine, and (during the Nazi period) Germany.
Jewish immigration was forbidden in 1939 when Jews were trying to get out of Germany and the fact that the Germans then entered Poland to take over and kill Jews.
Most of the Jews live in Bogota, Cali Barranquilla, and Medellin. By 1990 there were 7,000 Jews living in Colombia.
Maluma is definitely not Jewish. He's Catholic. Colombia does not have an official religion. However, Roman Catholicism is the dominant faith and deeply culturally pervasive. While the national department of statistics does not record the religious affiliations of the population, various studies and surveys suggest approximately 90% of Colombians are Christian.

The state of human rights in Qatar is a concern for several non-governmental organisations, such as Human Rights Watch, which reported in 2012 that hundreds of thousands of mostly South Asian migrant workers in construction in Qatar risk serious exploitation and abuse, sometimes amounting to forced labour. Awareness grew internationally after Qatar's selection to stage the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and some reforms have since taken place, including two sweeping changes in 2020.
Domestic servants, who are often poor women from South-east Asian countries, have few rights, and can become victims of human trafficking, sometimes forced into prostitution. There are restrictions on individual rights such as freedom of expression, and sodomy laws exist to punish offenders, both male and female.
Qatar's legal system is a mixture of civil law and Islamic law. Flogging is enforced as a punishment, and capital punishment, although rare in recent times, was enforced in 2020 for the first time in 17 years.Flogging is used in Qatar as a punishment for alcohol consumption or illicit sexual relations. According to Amnesty International, in 2012 at least six foreign nationals were sentenced to floggings of either 40 or 100 lashes.
People convicted of sodomy can face imprisonment of up to three years. Muslims convicted of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse such as adultery and bestiality) can be sentenced to flogging. Non-Muslims can face imprisonment in such cases.
The people of Qatar are bound and determined to have none of the problems
the West is facing today. They mean business.
The National Human Rights Committee was established in 2002 to investigate abuses.
