As excitement spread after the announcement of the hosting of Jamzone in New York City, promoters have started unraveling details about the event beginning with the announcement that ‘Gully God’ Mavado has been confirmed to perform at the event.
Timeka Marshall has also been added to the Jamzone in New York City line up.
Jamzone NYC, which is slated for August 09, 2014 at The Village, Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, is promised to be nothing less than adrenaline-charged and plans have definitely kick-started in this direction with the booking of Mavado.
The artist, whose real name is David Constantine Brooks, is no stranger to Jamzone and nor is he to Brooklyn so when those two are brought together, what do you get? The ultimate Brooklyn shutdown, Guyanese style!
Mavado over the years skyrocketed on charts across the Caribbean with hits like ‘So Special’, ‘Settle Down’, ‘Star Bwoy’, ‘Hope and Pray’, ‘Last Night’, ‘Pepper’, ‘Caribbean Girls’, ‘Mr. Tek Weh Yuh Gal’, ‘Delilah’, etc. Now U.S. based and signed with We the Best Music Group, Mavada was able to expand his fan base and released under this label ‘Emergency’ featuring Ace Hood and ‘Survivor’ featuring Akon. Other popular collaborations are ‘Give it all to me’ with Nicki Minaj and ‘Take it’ with Karian Sang.
More acts are yet to be added to the Jamzone NYC lineup.
While this will be the first year for Jamzone to be hosted in the U.S., the event is in its fourteenth year in Guyana where it is established as the greatest calendar event. Promoters are aiming for Guyana’s most anticipated event to make a similar impact on the international scene.
