Come tomorrow night at the Pegasus Poolside, the now annual reggae concert celebrating the birthday of Bob Marley will be staged with the added dimension of the Golden Jubilee celebration.
According to a press release from Carib Feedback Productions, which is promoting the event, the concert dubbed ‘Reggae Fever – Celebrating Bob Marley’s birthday and 50 years of Guyanese Music,’ starts at 7 pm. Featured artistes are the Yoruba Singers, the Royal Band, Charmaine Blackman, Prince Ally (Canada), Negusi Silenci (Brazil), Mario Kein, Killa Milla, Cyanide, Judah Ranks and other special guest artistes with Ras Leon on MC duty. Admission is $2,000 and tickets are available at the Pegasus front desk or persons can call 225-2856 for reservations, the release said.
Meanwhile, Carib Feedback Productions will soon hold auditions for its play, Legend of Victoria Village, which was written by Ras Leon Saul and will be directed by him as well. It is billed for the National Cultural Centre on May 20, 21 and 22.
According to the release, the play was first staged as Victoria’s Secrets in November 2014 and has been re-worked as a special Golden Jubilee event. It stated that the script was partly written from the historical works of President David Granger, Tommy Payne and William Arno.
Legend, the release said, is an exciting story, with a pinch of romance in a love triangle and a dab of comedy. It is said to be a dramatic historical re-enactment of a triangular love affair involving the attractive Victoria, the possessive Samuel Burke and the amorous Stipendiary Magistrate Thomas Porter Jr. Intertwined is a local legend involving a Victoria woman who was found strangled with her own scarf.
Carib Feedback Productions intends to take the dramatic production and the musical showcase to several venues around the country throughout the year of the Golden Jubilee celebrations, the release said.
