This is Jason Abdulla being referred to by Norman Brown and this was my response to this piece! I must say that I am Guyanese and i'm a big fan of this website and the information carried here. I love the music, wether Gaza or Gully. But Alliance fi life me seh! Bounty Killer to de flipping world! Gullyside comes next then Gaza!

One Norman Brown is more dangerous to society than ten Mavados.

Dear Editor,

Please allow me to respond to a letter that appeared in the Thursday, 10th September 2009 edition of the Stabroek News, titled Mavado should not be allowed to perform in Guyana and written by Norman Brown.

Despite all the bad that is said, it takes one (1) Norman Brown to incur far more danger than 10 Mavados to any society. This is clearly demonstrated when he stated the governments decision to lift the ban has not been properly spelled out. However, I looked forward to Eric Phillips contribution on the lifting of the ban. It is the Afro-Caribbean youth that is targeted here. This sort of music is given to them as their music. The government seems to be saying it is okay to tell our young men and women that deh dont know da meanin, when meh seh marrow paste on da ceiling, obviously inferring to what he perceives as an attempt by the government to use the negatives in Mavados music in a disadvantageous way to Afro-Guyanese.
