Arrowhead Promotions stages music awards
GUYANA will once again be making its mark in the international arena when ARROWHEAD PROMOTIONS stages its Music Awards in November at the National Cultural Centre.
A release said the awards ceremony billed for Sunday, November 30 this year promises to be a premiere event comparable to international awards ceremonies such as the Grammys and BET.
According to the executive director of Arrowhead promotions, Kwame Mc Coy the prestigious awards ceremony seeks to reward artistic excellence in the music industry that has definitely shown signs of growth and development over the years. He said it will coincide with strategic efforts to “promote Guyana” through its rich and diverse arts and cultures.
“Exhibiting our local talent at another level is the continuation of the unleashing of vast potentials,” Mc Coy said.
He disclosed that a group of Caribbean personalities in the creative arts is teaming up with major sponsors, to bring audience and industry representatives – from veterans to the latest surge in fresh new unsigned talent a memorable event.
Mc Coy is optimistic that the line up of fantastic performances will represent the climax in the local entertainment sphere, promote and represent the hype in the music industry.
He said “Arrowhead” their promotional group is advancing strategic partnerships for high level sponsorship with major commercial brands and public sector organizations as part of their inclusive approach to maximize the potential of the music industry.
Arrowhead Promotions is calling on Guyanese to prepare themselves for an event which, according to Mc Coy “can only be billed as an excellent experience from red carpet entrances to local and regional performances to a mind blowing Awards Ceremony and Celebrity Treatment.”
He is confident that this gala celebration will be Guyana’s most prestigious event of the music industry.
One Comment so far ...
This is indeed a very proud and historic moment in our nation’s history.
The first annual GUYANESE MUSIC AWARDS SHOW. WOW!!! (this will be taking place on Guyanese soil on God’s given day, Sunday November 30th 2008). Doesn’t that sound powerful? Very powerful indeed! First off, let me just say congratulations to ARROWHEAD PROMOTION’S. Thank you for giving me another reason to boast about Guyana. I glad that it’s finally here and that I’m able to witness history in the making.
It is unfortunate that this was not done earlier, back in the days when Mr. Al. Seals and the countless others who had to leave Guyana to further their music careers. Although they are now famous…like my self, they are always proud to tell the audience that they are GUYANESE. So with that said, congratulations once again and best wishes to both you and my fellow Guyanese entertainers. Now guys if only we can get the Guyanese Government to pass a bill and put into place the copyright act, (wouldn’t that be something!), that would once again put Guyana in the leading role over the rest of South America and the entire Caribbean.
PS. On December 26th 2008 here in Toronto Canada, a young Guyanese gentleman by the name of Sherlock Sheppard will be launching the first annual GUYANESE CANADIAN MUSIC AWARDS SHOW. Yet another proud moment for Guyanese everywhere. This show will feature a fabulous line up of entertainers, including my daughter Manda B., who lunched her music career on the One Love Guyana Show earlier this year, (she was asked to be the musical ambassador representing the youths of Guyana). She performed “I’ll Come Softly” the answer back to “Come To Me Softly” which I recorded and a song that she wrote and recorded this past summer with Terry Gajraj. In addition to Manda B. and myself, there will be many other entertainers from right here in Canada as well as the US, who will all be a part of this glamorous black tie affair, namely, Terry G.; the world renowned Caribbean pianist Mr. Dennis De Souza, Jimmy Ray of Combo 7, Tony Ricardo, Pamela Maynard, Ras Sangie, Roger B, Prince Ally plus many others. Best of luck to Sherlock and everyone involved with this show, I hope that it is a success and that it will be the first of many such events.
Best regards,
