The artistes are arriving and the bands are being assembled for one of the most anticipated gospel concerts to be held in Georgetown. Tickets are going and all plans are moving apace for the hosting of the event billed for this Saturday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall tarmac, Homestretch Avenue, Georgetown.
More than 20 musicians and artistes from the African continent and the Caribbean are slated to perform and will without a doubt give patrons a taste, feel, and sense of the cultural wealth of African.
Hosted by Peks Band, the concert will unveil new performances by RWCC and RCCG Potters House drama group, with special guest appearances by several Guyanese artistes including Samuel Medas, Melissa Vandeyar, Shawn English, Allan Petty Jr and Kester Deane among others.
The band was formed in 2013 by mostly Nigerian medical students residing in Guyana. The band has five African instrumentalists ministering African folk and they have developed into an African Gospel Musical Fellowship band in the Caribbean.
The festival is a mixture of Africa since it is a continent of different countries and those cultures are reflected in the band.
Local gospel singer, Shawn English, who is excited to be a part of the festival emphasised that the event is a cultural one which will give attendees the chance to also learn more about the African culture, adding “you don’t have to fly all the way to Africa to experience it because it’s going to be a great representation and you will be getting a full taste and feel of what Africa truly is.”
Tickets cost $1000 and $1500 at the gate. They can be uplifted at Giftland Mall, Nigel’s Supermarket, Andrew’s Supermarket and Kester D Gospel Centre among others.
