Brazil singer Majur celebrates being first trans woman on the cover of ‘Vogue Bride’

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Brazilian  Singer Majur celebrated being the first trans woman to be on the cover of “Vogue Bride” magazine worldwide. The star from São Paulo starred in beautiful images for this month’s publication, occupying spaces and showing that diversity is pure love.

On social networks, she celebrated the achievement, stressing that this is just the beginning.

During an interview, she talked about her relationship with her fiancé, contemporary dancer Josué Amazonas, and much more. “I am complete on my own. My glass is already full. But with love it overflows,” said the singer-songwriter about her passionate relationship with her first boyfriend. The announcement took place on June 28, LGBTQIA+ Pride Day.

“We walked by a jewelry store by chance, saw a pair of rings, and I decided to try one of them,” she says, agitated and pointing to the ring on her right hand, in the backstage of the cover. “The saleswoman asked, ‘Is the other one for him?’ Before I could say anything, he had already put it on his finger. We looked at each other intensely and I said: ‘That’s it, right? It was a magical moment,” she recalls.

The civil wedding is scheduled to take place in 2022, in an axé house in Salvador. The party, for about 300 guests, will take place in September of next year, and Majur has already defined most of the event.

“It will be on the beach and I will do a show, for sure. We will get married in white because of our religion, which is candomblé, but nothing will be heteronormative or binary, and we will have several godmothers. Love has no gender, and my party won’t have one either,” she says.

MAJUR AND A PASSIONATE SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE

One of the new voices in Brazilian music, Majur had already won over Caetano Veloso even before she released her first album. Now, with Ojunifé out in the world, the singer has seized the moment to create a live, immersive version of her songs.

In the first part of the release, “Agô,” “Flua,” “Ogunté,” and “Enciéndeme” come to life in a red setting, performed by her and her musicians as a “documentary record of my history, voice, and talent,” as she tells Glamour.

With musical production by Ubunto and creative production by Bruno Pimentel, the videos have musical direction by Majur herself, who wears looks signed by Von Trapp.

From Yoruba, “Ojunifé” means “eyes of love”: “I believe (and hope) in a more conscious society that respects differences and understands that we are diverse beings. That is why it was important for me to celebrate Brazilian culture with these eyes of love,” says the singer.
