Mavado's quest for global domination is currently rolling through Japan, for his first-ever appearance in the Far East. After a phenomenal year that has seen him tour the UK, Europe, the Caribbean and the US, as well as appearing on BET's Rip the Runway and HOT 97's SUMMER JAM amongst a long list of accomplishments, Mavado's astonishing 4 year reign at the pinnacle of Dancehall shows no sign of easing. Just like the medal-winning athletes in Berlin, Mavado is carrying the flag for Jamaica globally.
After spending the day doing Japanese press, the 2009 Reggae Breeze Tour got off to a good start at Club Cita in Kawasaki last night as Mavado thrilled the audience with his catalogue of hits. An energy-packed show left everyone in attendance grinning from ear to ear as Mavado was called back for several encores. During his performance Mavado introduced Gully Squad members Flexxx and Chase Cross who both received a rapturous welcome from the Japanese crowd.
The tour moves on to Nagoya for a beach festival Saturday night, before moving on to the Kyushu Music Festival on Sunday.
