calendar as UNICEF launched the #IMAGINE campaign in New York City to
celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Convention on the rights of a
child.
The campaign, which included a re-recording of John Lennon's classic
song "Imagine" led by Yoko Ono, is intended to help raise awareness of
children's rights.
We are so proud of Don Jazzy (real name, Michael Collins Ajereh),
Nigerian multiple award-winning producer and artiste who performed on
stage alongside renowned artistes including Angelique Kidjo, Brazilian
songwriter Daniela Mercury, Swedish-Iranian pop sensation Laleh
Pourkarim, cellist Trey Lee from Hong Kong and Kristian Kostov, the
winner of the Russian The Voice.
The event hosted by Golden Globe and award-winning actor, Hugh
Jackman, brought together some of the world's biggest names in music,
film, fashion and entertainment. Katy Perry, Steve Harvey, David
Guetta, Idris Elba, Courtney Cox, Nicole Scherzinger, Yoko Ono and
Priyanka Chopra were all there to lend their support.
#IMAGINE Project aims to create a unique moment in music history that
highlights the tremendous challenges children face the world over.
Everyone who records the song has the chance to have their vocals and
videos used in the UNICEF version of Imagine and in the accompanying
interactive music video, which will be released in the lead up to New
Year's Eve 2014.
IMAGINE participants can share their own recording of Lennon's classic
song with friends and family on social media and encourage others to
perform Imagine too. They can also record personal messages describing
what they imagine a better world for children would be like.
