Mavado for next month show

Popular?Jamaican dancehall artist Mavado has been cleared to enter Barbados after being barred two years ago and is expected to perform here.
George “Jack” Farrell, the man behind the promotion, said at a Press briefing that he had been given approval to bring the singer to perform here after much controversy surrounded a planned visit two years.
That original visit by Mavado and fellow Jamaica artist Vybz Kartel led to much debate among Barbadians who felt the artists’ songs had a negative influence on the youth. There were reports that the performers had planned to talk to the young people.
Farrell said the artiste, whose given name is David Constantine Brooks, will be performing along with Pop Caan, RDX, Rox Spice, Lisa Hype and Laza Morgan. (JS)
