Medienmitteilung von Stop Murder Music Bern
Homohasser Mavado spielt in ZH und NE
Homohasser und Dancehall-Reggae-Musiker MAVADO (David Constantine Brooks) besucht im Rahmen seiner Europa-Tournee auch die Schweiz: Der "Gangsta for life" soll am 14.5. im städtischen Jugendkulturhaus "Dynamo" in der Euro-Pride-City Zürich und am 17.5. - dem internationalen Tag gegen Homophobie - im "La Case à Chocs" in Neuchâtel auftreten.
Doch nicht nur Mavado, sondern auch die beteiligten Schweizer Konzert-OrganisatorInnen und unterstützenden Soundsystems sind bekannt für ihren unkritischen bis militant-homophoben Umgang mit Homohass-Songs.

Kommentar soulrebels.org:
NOTE: Mavado probably have more homphobic tunes than the one listed on this page. A proper research should be made. He is know for promoting gang violence in his songs. He is Bounty Killer ' protege. This song is said to be one of many songs exchanged in rivalry between him and other Jamaican artist Vybz Kartel. Kartel replied with a song named 'Way Dat Fah', recorded on the same riddim. Visit Mavado Wikipedia page that explain the feud between Mavado and Vybz Kartel. Also see 'Warn Dem Conteraction' lower in this section. According to Wikipedia page, there is also another song named 'Battyman' that was recorded by Mavado on the same riddim. I read this this second song was an answer to Vybz Kartel's 'Way Dat Fah'. It may be a feud between to artist, but it clearly promote violence against gays. Although the 'official' release date of the single seems to be early November, it seems that the song was circulating since September 2008.
