There is no doubt that Guyana is
exploring and discovering the
awesome potential that has laid
dormant in our once struggling music
industry. As new Guyanese stars
emerge on the local music scene and
the established trail blazers open new
frontiers in the international markets,
optimism is at an all time high. The
GTT ‘jingle and song competitions’
along with E-Networks “Spotlight” and
“Emerging Voices”
and the Ministry of Culture Youth and
Sports 2020 national competition
for singers, musicians, dancers and
spoken word, have unearthed some
of the richest new talent Guyana
has to offer. The musical dexterity
displayed by those who emerged as
the top contenders is proof that there
is definitely no shortage of talent in
Guyana.
Many of the artists from the Ministry’s
competition were selected to perform
in national cultural presentations for
Independence and Mashramani.
Apart from creating the biggest
spawning ground for aspiring
talent, the production has taken
Guyanese family TV entertainment
to an unprecedented high with
overwhelming local and on line
viewership. The dynamic X2 “Tag
Team” (Adrian Dutchin & Jomo
“Rubber Waist” Primo) with their high
energy performances has taken the
Guyanese Diaspora by storm and
overseas engagements for the duo
keep them busy. Tamika Marshall
also continues to make impressive
inroads internationally with her
constant flow of reggae love songs
and collaborations with top Jamaican
reggae artiste.
