Dancehall sensation Mavado performed on the LIME Campus Crew Tour, as the seven stop concert series across Portmore, St. Catherine ended at Bridgeport High on Friday.
There were squeals of delight and near disbelief as Mavado took to the stage opening with ‘Messiah’ sending the students, dressed casually for other festivities on the day, into a further frenzy.
“Bridgeport a [sic] the first school Gully God ever go pon [sic] a school tour,” Mavado said, before going into ‘Still Stan’ Up’, cutting to ‘Gully Side’, medley style.
The artiste offered the students some words of educational encouragement.
“A who take education serious?” he asked and the hands went up.
Mavado then chanted “school over gun”.
The Campus Crew Tour ended in much the same way that it opened on October 14 at Ascot High.
Flava Unit sound system set the pace with Badda Bling up front and the Portmore Pacesetters Marching Band rattled up a storm while Tami Chynn and Coco hosted the performances.
Other performances came from the ‘Facebook’ and ‘Twitter’ man Tanto Blacks, who closed with ‘Anything You Want’.
Bridgeport got a run of three women, Denyque crooning about ‘Summer Love’, Ikaya observing “I see babies having babies”, as well Timberlee followed by dancers Shady Squad.
Following Mavado, song bird Alaine was all class, opening with ‘No Ordinary Love’ and had the students singing along.
Quartet TOK was high energy throughout their set and Khago got the rapturous welcome from the students with the popular ‘Nah Sell Out’.
The Bridgeport concert and entire Campus Crew Tour closed with Chino, who among his more popular songs also advised ‘Protect Your Life’, then QQ who decried ‘Poverty’ and then dropped his signature moves as he duly ‘Tek it to Dem’.
LIME donated computers and Internet service to Bridgeport, as well as BlackBerrys and other cellular phones to the principal, outstanding students and members of various school clubs.
