LOCAL artiste Blaze Anthonio in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a new song aimed at bringing more awareness to Guyanese, particularly youths, on the Guyana-Venezuela border controversy.
The song was released at the National Communications Network (NCN) studios on Thursday.

The artiste, speaking in the presence of acting Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge and legal luminary Sir Shridath Ramphal, said the song in a nutshell captures the spirit of all Guyanese.

“Guyana is our own and we must be proud of it,” the young artiste said.
The song was produced by New York-based Guyanese, Ridwaan Razaak, who is also making a name for himself on the international scene.
The collaboration with the government was something new to Anthonio and he told reporters that he is grateful for the opportunity.

“It is a song for all of you,” said Minister Greenidge, who noted that he was impressed by the lyrics and the time it took to produce the track.

He also called for a concerted effort to be made to raise awareness of the song, similar to what was done in the 1970s with Dave Martin’s “Not a blade of grass”.
Sir Shridath said “Guyana our own” bridges generations, as it brings home the Guyana-Venezuela border controversy matter to the young generation of Guyanese.
“It is an honour, not just a pleasure to be a part of this new rendition,” Sir Shridath said.
