Interviews

A video of a celebrity wedding which took place in Brazil is being premiered at the UN on Friday as part of an event to highlight a decade of progress in Latin America in protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex or LGBTI people.

The video features Daniela Mercury a Brazilian singer who has sold more than 20 million albums.

Ms Mercury divorced her husband and years later married her girlfriend.

The freedom that jazz music engenders can play an important role in promoting tolerance around the world.

That’s according to drummer, Marko Djordjevic, who was performing at the United Nations on International Jazz Day.

Daniel Dickinson asked him why it is important to have a day dedicated to jazz.

The report begins with the music of John Coltrane played by Mr Djordjevic and saxophonist, Tivon Pennicott.
