Finnish rap artist Signmark, who was born deaf, brought his sign-language rap music to New York to promote the human rights of people with disabilities.

He gave two “Silent Shout” performances, one inside UN headquarters and another outside that drew a large crowd.

While Signmark performed in American Sign Language, rapper Brandon Bauer provided the voice for the lyrics.
