Gully leader Mavado has been added to the lineup of this year's Teensplash show at James Bond Beach in St. Mary.
"We are endorsing the unity between Gully and Gaza and we are doing this for the core audience, the teenagers who most support these artistes and who are susceptible to the friction between the two. This represents an opportunity to set a new platform for the new year, especially if we can get them to perform together," Linval Gibbons, organiser of Teensplash, said.
The Gully-Gaza peace was first forged at the West Kingston Jamboree and then both artistes met the Prime Minister and a number of Cabinet members at Jamaica House to solidify plans to make the peace a reality. There are plans to host a peace concert in January 2010, and for the two artistes to do a combination single. Any proceeds generated by the concert will be donated towards charities of the entertainers' choice.
