A public outcry led AEG Live and Live Nation to cancel scheduled concerts by "murder music" singer Buju Banton.

A public outcry led AEG Live and Live Nation to cancel scheduled concerts by 'murder music' singer Buju Banton.

Join us tonight as we peacefully protest at Cabana Club in Hollywood TONIGHT, Thursday, Oct. 15, at 8:30pm!

This murder musician has had his shows around the country canceled – he is unrepentant and unapologetic for glorifying the murder of LGBT through his music! We must send a message to his supporters that we will not tolerate this kind of hatred! “Not In My Backyard, Not Anywhere!”

  • Location: Cabana Club, 1439 Ivar Ave in Hollywood. Just south of Sunset and Amoeba music. (map)
  • Time: 8:30 p.m.
  • Bring your signs and show your solidarity with activists around the world – especially in Jamaica, where prominent LGBT activists have been murdered – against musicians who glorify the murder of LGBT people.

To read Los Angeles G&L Center CEO Lorri L. Jean’s letter to Banton’s manager, visit the Center’s website.
