*Buju Will Perform in Miami January 16th*
Good News! The show can go on for Jamaican reggae star Buju Banton.
A federal judge Wednesday gave Banton, real name: Mark Myrie ,
permission to perform at a January 16th concert in Miami.
Judge James Moody overturned a previous decision by Magistrate
Judge Anthony Porcelli not to grant the Jamaican-born artist
permission to perform on the reggae show.
Banton, had on November 23 applied for permission to perform
at the concert, originally scheduled for December 26, but
Porcelli dismissed the motion on the grounds that the artist was
a flight risk. Until wed there was an overturningin the ruling!
He's permitted to work as long as the security measures
are provided.
The concert, dubbed Before The Dawn, will be held at the Bay Front
Amphitheatre in downtown Miami and will feature Banton and other
prominent reggae artists. The concert, which is being produced by
Rockers Island, is named after Banton's album, released in September
while he was behind bars.
David Oscar Markus, who is the singer's lead attorney said "We are
thankful to Judge Moody for letting Buju work. It was surprising that
the government opposed it even though they have no problem paying
a convicted drug dealer and IRS scammer $3.5 million for setting
people up" Banton's legal team had contended during the trial that
Banton was entrapped by the US Government with Johnson's aid.
