Unitec Entertainment in collaboration with Good Times Ent. Most Wanted 4 Life and Empire present Mavado Live in Concert on Saturday, June 15th at the Jolie Event Center (5240 Panola Industrial Blvd.) in Decatur, Georgia.
On Saturday night, Buju Banton, also known as Gargamel, hosted what is being called one of the best concerts to be held at the National Stadium in a while, The Long Walk To Freedom.
With a lineup that includes some of the best reggae and dancehall artists in the business (Cocoa Tea, Etana, Christopher Martin, Romain Virgo, Marcia Griffiths, Beres Hammond, Wayne Wonder and many more), plus the first performance from Buju Banton, since being released from prison, the people came out in numbers. Patrons flew in from Europe, North America as well as other Caribbean islands to share the experience with Jamaicans at home.
Everyone who attended the event have said how much they enjoyed the show and laments on the fact that Buju Banton is still at the top of his game. The artist performed for approximately an hour, belting out hits after hits, while squeezing in one and two freestyles. It’s now clear that the unfortunate dust up between him and his son did not affect the event in anyway, shape or form; If anything it had more people tuning in.
The dancehall and afrobeat queen, Aurelia Dey, will join Essa Cham and Jeepstarr for a live show at Mortens krog (Kungsgatan 17) in Uddevalla, Sweden. All acts will be supported by Rough Lynx Sound, one of the more popular sound system in Sweden.
Fans and supporters of Aurelia can expect an extra special performance as the event, which is dubbed Backyard Bashment, will take place on her birthday, March 22nd. The show will begin at 22:00 and there is an entrance fee of 150Kr.
