Buju Banton sells out theater at Madison Suqare Garden
 Gargamel Music, Inc. is extremely pleased to announce that Buju Banton sold out the Theater at Madison Square Garden this past Sunday May 6th. It was the third time Buju Banton graced the world famous stage, playing to a capacity crowd of over 5,000 energetic patrons that included former New York Knick and Jamaican national Patrick Ewing.
Billed as a "Pre-Mother's Day Driver Concert," in recognition of Buju Banton's latest smash single "Driver A," the blockbuster event featured live performances by Jovi Rockwell, Khari Kill, Da'Ville, Lady Saw, Tony Matterhorn and Gargamel Music artist New Kidz, whose lively set included a brief lesson on the latest dance moves out of Jamaica.
Banton and his Shiloh Band were in prime form, running gracefully through his diverse and extensive catalog of hits-old and new, keeping the audience on their feet the entire time. Climax came when Banton brought out dancehall legend Shabba Ranks, to perform a few songs for the amped up crowd. Indeed, it was a night to remember.

No homo can fight out the true genius that is Buju the Mighty Banton. Good music triumphs all bad mind and negativity. Even the ones who ah fight yuh out enjoy yuh music same way. They just to egotistic to admit it. Gargamel u've done us Jamaicans and ur past musical pioneers proud.

Badmind,
I was also at the show, and I did not see what you saw, you must have your own agenda...
BUJU's performance was EXCELLENT!!! He gets a score of 95 out of 100. His performance could have been better though, because at some points it appeared really REHERSED... wheras SHABBA'S performance seemed more impromtu...
Yes there were many people there to see SHABBA because they had not seen SHABBA in a while while BUJU is ALWAYS on tour...
Where was the big man Super Cat???dem man dey shoulda dey dey...

I was there! It was off the hook. Shabba did a great performance, Lady Saw did her thing too and as usual Buju dun di place! Smady plz tell mi why Maestro come pon di ppl dem stage looking like a head a lettuce, inna full green suit - LOL. Him nice still. Matterhorn couldn't seem to get ova di suit he was wearing, making refernce to it in every other sentence. His performance wasn't all that.
But overall it was worth it!

Pls if anyone knows Buju "Voice of JAmaica" Banton personally, ask him when will grace Ghana and Nigeria with his Blessed presence? Over 10 million youths out there are asking the same question.
Bujunatha- come quick Buju
