Reggae star Buju Banton's concert cancelled after nightclub gets complaints
===========================================================================
Monday, September 25, 2006
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A nightclub has cancelled a performance by Buju Banton, a
reggae star whose violent lyrics about gays and lesbians have made him a
controversial figure, after receiving complaints from patrons.
E-mail messages and phone calls from concerned customers prompted the
cancellation of the Oct. 2 show, said Adam Manacker, general manager of the
Highland nightclub and restaurant.
"We felt it was the right thing to do after doing some research on the
matter," Manacker said.
Full refunds will be given.
In July, concerts featuring Banton and Beenie Man were cancelled in Britain
after activists said both artists refused to stop using anti-gay lyrics. Two
of Banton's songs released early in his career, "Batty Rider" and "Boom Bye
Bye," glorify the shooting of gay men.
Banton's most recent album, "Too Bad," released earlier this month, omits
homophobic lyrics.
The husky-voiced Banton has been a major star in his native Jamaica since the
early 1990s with brash dancehall music and, more recently, a traditional
reggae sound. His career has been stunted in the United States because of his
attitude toward gays.
Banton was tried and acquitted on charges that he participated in the beating
of six gay men by a Jamaica gang in 2004.
