By now its general news that Vybz Kartel and Mavado will be headlining the Jamzone Summer Break ‘Regional Night’ concert which will be held at the Guyana National Stadium on August 19th; however amidst the excitement, the organizers as well as the artistes are reminding fans that this will not be a musical clash but simply a night of great Dancehall music and entertainment!

Ever since the news of this musical coalition became public, fans have been anxiously anticipating this showdown which is expected to be one of the most attended shows in Guyana’s history. However, in light of the pervading remnants of the lyrical feud in which these two artistes were engaged, the organizers are quite aware of the fact that fans may misconstrue the aim of this event. As mentioned earlier, this will not be a clash or war but both artistes have overcome their differences and merely intend to entertain their Guyanese fans.

The Hits and Jams team is adamant in conveying this message to the public, to maintain our reputation of hosting fun, clean, incident and violence-free events. This show was not created with aims of fueling any animosity between extremist fans and we hope that supporters nationwide are not attending with ulterior intentions.

Kartel ‘Keep the Peace Fest’ next Friday

Lovers of the vibes dished by Vybz Kartel and his Portmore Empire will get a second serving on the local shores on next Saturday December 12 at the National Park. However while many have voiced strong objection to the lyrical content of some of the artiste’s songs the Kartel camp is reporting that it’s just for entertainment purposes.

Reports from promoters Conscious Minds and Hits and Jams are that if all goes well School children  in uniform may be treated to a free ‘Vybz Kartel Keep the peace concert’ next Friday at a venue to be announced. Sources in the promoters camp say the show is being organised to help erase the many myths associated gangs that has cause many youths to become violent.

Word from the Kartel Camp is that gaza will be coming in a positive way for all to enjoy themselves regardless of their choosing.

Word from promoters is that “if the ‘keep the peace’ concert is pulled off on Friday with input from at least one ministry and  several Non Government Organizations it will be the stage from which the air will be cleared and abetter understanding would be had regarding the Gully/ Gaza story.”

One of the promoter said “The show which will be strictly for school children in uniform will clear up the myths and will emphasise that the talk is nothing more than entertain.”

The promoter said too that they are “working with some NGO to ensure that Kartel and his team meet, interact with and share conversation on school children related issues and education. The pre-show will also be used as a mini-fair to promote education, HIV and Aids awareness, anti crime discussions and to continue spreading positive vibes”.

The official show dubbed a December to remember is slated for December 12.
