IN an effort to promote local and overseas-based Guyanese artistes and their music, Jumo Primo will be launching the 592 Movement which is an entertainment and promotional company.

Jumo, who, unlike some of our local and upcoming artistes, has had the privilege of having international exposure, said the 529 Movement will create a space for our locals in music industry worldwide.

The 592 Movement is expected to be officially launched in another two months, and is presently at the point where registration forms have been printed and are available for distribution at all local entertainment outlets and studios.

Registration forms will also be available Online, as will a Facebook account; the company will also have a presence on social media platforms such as Instagram.

Primo said that all artistes desirous of joining the group are advised to put together their biography, which, along with a photograph, will be featured on the company’s Facebook page so people will get to know them.

He said that so far, he has had an excellent feedback in terms of support in the formation of a contingent to promote each other through the 592 Movement.
THE IDEA
Asked how it all came about, Jumo said: “The idea dawned on me, because I know what it’s like to have the potential but not being promoted.
“And, seeing that I have had exposure overseas, I want the same for our artistes; to give them that support to enhance their music career both locally and internationally.”

He said that his music career would have been “farther down the road” had he had overseas exposure earlier, which is what prompted him to develop himself.

The local sensation, who has numerous hits under his belt, intends to take artistes on the international stage via the 592 Movement.

He noted that our local music isn’t being circulated abroad, and that as such the 592 Movement will change that, whereby our music will be marketed in the Caribbean and further afield.

He told the Guyana Chronicle that music is important in society and it is no different in Guyana where youths have the potential but doesn’t have the support and he intends to meet with the government to have music as part of the curriculum since he needs the backing of the current administration.
HIS MUSIC
He has released a series of songs such as “Jiggle It”, “Stir the Pot”, “Stamma”, “Drop” and the newly released single “Jam It”.

The video for “Jam It”, he said, will be filmed in Berbice, and that he will be going to Jamaica and Barbados for carnival and Crop-Over respectively to promote his music.

He said he is marketing rhythms from the Caribbean and other islands to bring to Guyana, and they will have to get their own studio outfitted with a low-cost video team for artistes to utilise in the 592 Movement.

The songbird also stated that he is reaching out to overseas organisations to support our local group of artistes in promoting their music, since it is time for Guyana to have a place in the music industry overseas and for youths to have a chance to build their music careers.
