Mavado To Rock Ghana On Saturday

Mavado

Top-selling Jamaican dancehall artiste Mavado is set for a grand musical concert on Saturday, October 1.

Billed to be held at the Accra Sports Stadium, the organizers, Fantasy Entertainment, are stopping at nothing to ensure that they deliver a successful concert.

Mavado, the organizers have said, would share the stage with an impressive select core of local and foreign artistes including Nigerian crooner Fidei Ranks, who will ensure back-to-back performances all night.

Fantasy Entertainment is noted for the highly impressive Rick Ross concert that shook the foundations of the Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre months ago, and has promised a re-enactment of the flair and quality that came with their first event.

Born David Constantine Brooks, Mavado, also known as The Real McKoy, Gully God, Gangsta Fi Life and Stulla, is famed all over the world for his exceptional mastery of the genre. His style is heavily influenced by the likes of Bounty Killer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounty_Killer and 2Pac.

His debut single, ' Real McKoy' on the Anger Management  riddim http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riddim  in 2004, provided him instant success. He further established himself with the follow-up record ' Weh Dem a Do' on the Red Bull & Guinness riddim.

After a string of hits in 2005 and 2006, Mavado released the album ' Gangsta for Life: The Symphony of David Brooks ' on July 10, 2007 on  VP Records http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsta_for_Life:_The_Symphony_of_David_Brooks . ' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP_Records Whe Dem A Do' and 'Dying' , two singles from the album, were featured heavily on R&B/hip-hop radio in New York.

In 2008, Mavado was given the prestigious UK MOBO Award for Best Reggae Act.

In April 2010, he starred as a gangster in  Drake's  song ' Find Your Love http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake%27s '. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find_Your_Love

Mavado formed his own label, Mansion Records, in 2011, debuting with the single ' Delilah '.  This year he recorded with UK hip-hop artiste  Chipmunk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipmunk_%28rapper%29  on the track 'Every Gyal' . The track is receiving rave reviews across key charts all over the world.

The Accra Sports Stadium will definitely come alive on Saturday.
