GUYANESE are being told to prepare for quite the experience as the momentum builds for this weekend’s signature entertainment event, the “Vent X Owner” Dexta Daps concert, slated for the National Stadium, Providence on Saturday.
Patrons can expect a whole lot more than just the “wu wu wu” of Daps, who will be backed by an impressive lineup of opening acts including: the sultry Christopher Martin; Trinidad soca singer, Lyrikal; Ikaya, who Daps has collaborated with; and Louie Culture.
The international artistes will also be intertwined with a collection of local singers that will include Gully Ras, Drew Thoven, Bobby Kush, Toney Cuttz, and Vicardi Singh.
“There’s a wide variety, which is what I love about it. You have reggae, soca, chutney, just a little bit of everything. It’s going to be a really nice experience and persons are going to get their money’s worth,” Chelsea Wyatt, one of the concert organisers shared in an interview with The Buzz.
Though this will not be the first time Daps, real name Louis Grandison, will be performing in Guyana, a lot of anticipation has been growing over the event given that this will be the first Easter weekend in two years that Guyanese will be able to party like normal since the COVID-19 restrictions has been lifted.
“I know for sure this is going to be one not to miss. Since COVID started, it is only now that we have all the restrictions lifted. It’s been two years since we’ve been able to be out and have a celebration at Easter. So… it’s going to really be worth it and you don’t want to miss it,” Chelsea says.
A lot of buzz has also been generated over the concert given Daps’ reputation with the ladies, and his alleged encounter with at least one particular young lady the last time he was in Guyana.
A dancehall/reggae Jamaican artiste, Daps is known for the seductive and provocative nature of his music, with songs such as “Bring It to The Owner”, “Call Me If” and “No Underwear”.
The concert is said to be part of Daps ‘Vent X Owner’ promotional tours for his recently released music. Daps was scheduled to arrive in Guyana late Thursday night, and will be doing a press conference on Friday. He will be interviewed on radio on Friday.
Chelsea noted that there are still a few tickets available with tickets going at $6000 for general audience; $25,000 for VIP; and $35,000 for VVIP.
The VIP and VVIP are all-inclusive, and also includes free parking and pictures with the artiste. General attendees can also access parking for a fee.
