Ministry of Music Minister Of Culture Takes Time Off To Play Concerts
Brazil's minister of Culture is Gilberto Gil - a big music star. But he's taking a month off from his ministry job to go on tour in Europe boost his income. The 60-year-old recording artist earns $2,900 (£1,700) a month in his government post but says this is not enough to maintain his standard of living.
