| 'GULLY GAAD' MAVADO TO PERFORM AT THE RITZ THEATRE [26.09.08] |
New York, NY (Ms. Raine Inc.): Road Block Radio, Race Entertainment, MG Promotions and Team A Promotions have decided to bring the heart of the 'gully' to the center of New Jersey's swanky middle class by presenting Jamaica's infamously famous 'Gully Gaad' at the posh Ritz Theatre in Elizabeth, NJ.
Hosted by popular radio personalities Dahved Levy of New York's WBLS, and Road Block Radio's Banky Hype and Greng Greng, the 'Gangsta fi Life' Mavado will launch his assault on Elizabeth On Sunday, October 26th, with his band of lyrical terrorists out of the Alliance camp. Slated to be one of Elizabeth's highly anticipated, if not unusual, events, organizer Casey 'G City' Rankine is confident that such an unprecedented move is exactly what the genre needs.
Who says the gully can't do the Ritz," G City jokingly questions, before seriously stating that "Dancehall Reggae is one of the most popular musical genres in the world. Our musical culture has influenced language, dance, and fashion across the globe. It is high time that we step it up a few notches, and present our artists in the style and manner befitting to world-class artists."
Mavado & Friends Live in Concert at the Ritz, takes place on Sunday, October 26th at the Ritz Theatre (1148 East Jersey Street) in Elizabeth, NJ. Doors open at 5pm and show time is at 7pm sharp. Limited advance tickets start at $35. |

| CHERINE ANDERSON TOURS WITH MICHAEL FRANTI [26.09.08] |
On the heels of wrapping a successful 21 date tour of the US in early September, the young Dancehall Soul songstress Cherine Anderson returns to the States again, this time hitting the road with singer/activist Michael Franti and Spearhead. Anderson is touring with the massively popular Franti and Spearhead in support of their September 9th release, All Rebel Rockers, in which Cherine is featured on three songs. The first single off the album, "Say Hey (I Love You)" featuring Cherine, is receiving great radio rotation as well as being featured on ads for the CW and E! Entertainment Networks.
Anderson serves as the band's opening act performing songs from her upcoming EP "The Introduction-dubstyle", and rejoins the band as a featured vocalist during the Spearhead set. Just several shows into joining the tour, Anderson's presence has created a buzz. Nicole Kristek of Mel.Opho.be writes about the show at Marymoor Amphitheatre in Washington, "(Cherine) showed off her range and power with slow "diva"-style vocals mixed over reggae beats. A bit reminiscent of Lauryn Hill but with more funk to her voice, we found her to be extremely charismatic, weaving her sultry way across the stage".
The All Rebel Rockers tour also allowed Cherine the opportunity to perform at The Hollywood Bowl, her second feature at the famed concert hall in her young career. In October, the tour takes Anderson to Australia, her first time taking her Dancehall Soul sound "Down Under". The talented artists bring their powerful shows to ten cities in Australia including Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. A video for the follow up single "Little Bit of Riddim" (song and video also featuring Anderson) was shot on location in Jamaica under the direction of the Ras Kassa, so be on the look out for its premiere!
