This magnificent concert had eight bands setting the stage on fire, and was the first local show ever that had over 25,000 people in attendance. Five of those bands were international bands from Canada, the USA, Trinidad and Tobago, and Suriname; and then there was Guyana’s very own, the Shakti Strings Orchestra. Come March 18, 2023, promoter Mahendra Ramkellawan would be looking to recreate that memorable musical firestorm. Thus far, singers are confirmed to be coming from several countries, including the Soca capital of the world – Trinidad and Tobago; the USA, Canada, Holland, Suriname and Guyana. Invited to comment on the return of this electrifying event, Ramkellawan related that plans in this respect are moving apace.
Now operating his brand, Fire Fest Production, out of New York, Ramkellawan explained that he has already met with Culture Minister Charles Ramson Jr and other stakeholders, and is expected back in Guyana in the new month to finalise the cast and to work out other details, including security, among other things. He has promised that the return of the ‘Clash of the Titans’ will be massive.
