Jamaican-American reggae singer Tarrus Riley of “She’s Royal” fame is set to headline a concert at the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Base Camp Ayanganna Thomas Lands on April 30, as part of the observances for the GDF’s 50th Anniversary.
Also on the ticket, being billed as the ‘Love is Contagious’ concert are Jamaican reggae artist Tanya Stephens and Guyanese Natural Black, Timeka Marshall, Jackie Jaxx and Mystic.
A release from GDF said that the concert will be preceded by an anti-gender based violence and stigma and discrimination fair being held in collaboration with PEPFAR.
The fair, which starts at 10:00 hrs, will be held on the front lawns of Base Camp Ayanganna. According to the release, the objective of the fair is to sensitise patrons about the ills of gender based violence and discrimination through the dissemination of information using pamphlets, presentations and music. Patrons would also be treated to free eye, blood sugar and hypertension testing, dental screening and consultation with doctors. Patrons would also be able to interact with the international and local artistes.
The concert starts at 18:00 hrs on the playfield of the base and tickets are required for entry, which cost $2,500 and $10,000 for the VIP section. Tickets are available at all leading sports outlets and supermarkets countrywide, at the GDF Finance Department and from members of the 50th Anniversary Committee.
