GUYANA’s well-loved entertainers Chris Gopaul and Michael ‘Credit’ Ignatius will be hosting this year’s “Guyana Day” in New York on August 27. Other Guyanese artistes who will be performing at this year’s event are Natural Black, Mystic, Adrian Dutchin, Poonam Singh, Mahendra Ramkellawan, Jumo Primo, Fojo, Terry Gadraj, Little J, Gaddie G, Kwasi Ace, Kapa Shanti and Jackie Jaxx.
The event, to be held at York Collage, Jamaica Queens, is compliments of HUGE Entertainment (H-Honest, U-Unity Squad, G- G6, E-Energy Squad), made up of various Guyanese groups that came together with the sole purpose of promoting Guyanese talent.
Representatives of the unit are Dexter Wallace, Damon Wallace, Marc Wallace, Kevin Hope, Ocie Ross, Jason Waldron, Shoan Sampson, O’neil Alexander, Dwayne Campbelle, and Dawn Catalina.
On their Facebook Page, HUGE Entertainment said recently: “The most anticipated event for the year is back again and it’s bigger, much better…with some of the biggest, hottest artist outta Guyana…bring out your Guyana flags, rags and your crew…It’s a family fun event.”
For this year’s celebration, HUGE has decided to highlight Guyanese people who have been on the frontline of Guyana’s development. “Clearly, we cannot get everyone but our team has done our investigations and has decided to honor those we feel deserve it most, such as Gordon Moseley, Sharma Solomon and the Victory 5, to name a few. Come out to mix and mingle amongst the people who are helping to transform our great nation,” HUGE said.
“It’s that time of the year again when we as Guyanese will come together for one common goal, under one theme ‘Six Peoples One Race.’ Come out and enjoy our cultural arts, foods, dance and musical entertainment. Watch as we offer appreciations, and present awards and recognition for some of Guyana’s best and most influential people.”
The Kids fun segment will be from 11 am to 4 pm, after which the main attraction will kick off with just adults. “Enjoy the sound of Guyanese artists, alongside many of our other ‘One Caribbean’ brothers and sisters. A parade of national pride and the taste of traditional foods and drinks from Guyana will be available. Come on down and enjoy the spirit of our nation.”
