Guyanese government says artistes boycott doesnt bother them
Friday, May 2, 2008
Head of Guyana's Presidential Secretariat and Cabinet Secretary, Dr Roger Luncheon said at a post-Cabinet media briefing that even in Jamaica some artistes are objected to and have been subjected to severe sanctions by the law.
He was responding to a question by one reporter about whether or not the administration is concerned that as a result of the banning of dancehall artistes Mavado and Bounty Killer from performing in Guyana, that artistes on the island might be considering boycotting Guyana and thus, hampering especially the upcoming Caribbean Festival of Arts (CARIFESTA) being hosted here.
Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee had announced the banning of the two artistes earlier in the week following Bounty Killer breaching the agreement he had with promoters not to use specific lyrics during a show held in Guyana recently. The artiste used the lyrics and this resulted in gunshots being fired at the event. Mavado was scheduled to perform at an upcoming event here.
Both artistes had been banned from performing in a number of other countries as a result of their lyrics which promote violence and homophobia.

dem dont listen music
i am a big fan of movado ,i think minister roshee [rohee]does not know what he has done to music fans throughout guyana by banning movado and bounty killa from performing in g/t and by banning the music from our one and only radio station 98.1 fm .ithink he wants to give battyman prags and rights in g/t.dem fi dead.

ridiculous
The really need to be fair. if they are going to ban, Bounty Killer and Mavado, they should ban, all the murder shoot-em up movies and video games, as well as MTV which promotes sex, and filth, and the internet.
