#unheadquarters — Public Fediverse posts

"A concert at the #UNheadquarters, with Secretary General #KofiAnnan at the Congas, opens this wonderful portrait of #GilbertoGil. The story begins in Salvador de #Bahia, where a 2-year-old boy tells his mother that he will become a musician. He would go on to make good on this prophecy, and even more. Gilberto Gil, a Beatles fan and co-founder (with Caetano Veloso, in particular) of Tropicalism, wanted to "modernize music" in Brazil. His activism resulted in prison and in him being forced into exile (1969-1972) by the military dictatorship. When he returned, he built bridges between the Nordeste and Africa, fought against racism, and promoted black cultures, eventually becoming Minister of Culture (2003-2008). Gilberto Gil describes this extraordinary journey, which ends on stage with his son Bem, to whom he is passing the torch."

All those representatives from around the world at the UN enjoy a good life doing what? Its taxpayers money. By the way, the UN should shift its headquarters to Europe? If that happened, America would withdraw. Why? Its the highest financial contributor with a "one-way traffic sign". Every US Rep at the UN vetoes anything on Palestine. #UN #UNHeadquarters #politics
