– Shaggy, Kranium, Chris Martin promise a concert with a difference

THE media and other special invitees were yesterday able to get an ‘up close and personal experience’ with the exceptional international acts tabled for tonight’s ‘Boombastic Concert’, slated for the National Stadium at Providence, EBD.

At a press conference held in their honour at the Palm Court Nightclub on Main Street, Georgetown, the media interacted with ‘Shaggy’, ‘Kranium’, and Christopher Martin, who had already arrived in Guyana. Lady ‘O’ and Baby Cham were expected to arrive in the country at about 21:45 hrs last night.

At the press conference, Golden Boy Entertainment’s Representative Stan Gouviea thanked the media for publishing that the show was going to be one of a lifetime. He disclosed that some two hundred and fifty new stage lights would add glitz and glamour to the event, and effects would be further accentuated with towering screens to allow patrons extended views of the artistes as they perform. He also made mention of a VIP Red Carpet experience that would be made available to patrons.

Promoter Geraldo Alphonso, in his presentation, said the fraternity is hyped and ready to deliver a concert like never before hosted on the local shores. He added that the extensive lineup of artistes is the Golden Boys Christmas treat for its fans.

Grammy-winning artiste ‘Shaggy’ did a ‘big up Guyana’, raving that he would be bringing the customary energy associated with his performance. He added that the artistes on the panel are ‘like family’, which is a plus for an even heightened showcase.

This artiste would be the headline act at tonight’s event.

Christopher Martin noted that he was excited to be back in Guyana. He sent out ‘nuff respect’ to his supporters, emphasising that he is definitely looking forward to performing with the live band on stage.

He explained that because each artiste shares no animosity for the other, Guyanese can bet their ‘bottom dollar’ they would be given a show of a lifetime.

Kranium noted that the concert is a ‘family event’, and urged all Guyanese to come out in support of the concert. While he noted that his showcase would ‘be problems tonight’, he disclosed his great pleasure at sampling Guyanese cuisine.
He concluded by applauding the promoters for their intense and versatile promotion of the event. (Alex Wayne)
