Guyanese artistes take centre stage at ‘I am Legend’ concert’

Guyana Carnival has been nothing short of exciting for the Guyanese and overseas patrons thus far.

However, one of the most anticipated events is the only reggae show for the season; Buju Banton’s ‘I am legend’ concert, slated for tomorrow night at the National Stadium.

People everywhere have been talking about the return of the ‘Gargamel’ to Guyana’s soils after so many years.

But apart from person’s excitement for this show in Guyana, there are several Guyanese reggae artistes who will be given the opportunity to perform on the stage the said night.

Given that the anticipated crowd for this show is thousands, this will be a great opportunity to showcase Guyana’s rich talent. There aren’t much reggae shows in Guyana to give our artistes the said opportunity, so this is creating much anxiety among the local acts.

‘The Buzz Magazine’ paid a visit to the band room where the artistes are rehearsing and they all expressed much gratitude to be provided the stage to showcase their ability in front of a large audience.

With hopes that this will open bigger doors, the artistes said that they are all going to put their best foot forward and bring their all in their performances.

Long lost reggae group ‘First Born’ has returned to the scene and will be performing at the show. For the first time in years, all five members of the group will be performing their all-time hit songs ‘Irits’ and ‘Headline’, among others.

Also returning to the local stage, is Guyana’s biggest reggae act, ‘Natural Black’, who will be performing some of his well-known songs and also some songs from his new album ‘Eyes ah Look’.

Mark Batson, who recently returned from Jamaica after stunning the people in the country with his exceptional talent, will also be doing his thing tomorrow night.

In addition to these already known acts, a new young female artiste, Andrea Daniels will be performing, and is looking to make her mark, and debut into the music industry.

All these local acts will be back by Guyana’s number one band, ‘The Heatwave Band’. They too are all excited for what is about to go down tomorrow night.

The promoters of the show have great expectations for its outcome, and anticipates that this will be the biggest show for the entire Carnival season.
