Bob RuggieroGyptianSaturday July 10Afri-Soul Marketplace, 1145 East Washington Street, # 100, 623-760-4854Gyptian may not have become a household name, but his crossover dancehall hit single “Hold You (Hold Yuh)” was one of them Songs from 2010 the summer. The lyrics were a little hard to follow (ex. “Gyal, mi wann fi hold yuh”), but what would you expect from a country boy reggae singer from St. Andrews, Jamaica? Gyptian first entered the reggae / dancehall scene in 2004 when he was just under 27 when he won a TV talent competition in his home country. A deal followed with the renowned reggae label VP Records, and four albums later nothing got as big as “Hold You”. Experience it on Saturday evening at 5 p.m. in a concert at the Afri-Soul Marketplace. Don Quality, Potential, Maestro Don, Phort Knox and Iyah Ingi open. Tickets cost $ 65 to $ 80. Estherpark
