Gavin Mendonca to co-produce folk Christmas special

Gavin and Chucky Folk Up De Courtyard

Folk/rock musician Gavin Mendonca has emerged from a hiatus of more than six months revitalized and is currently working on his Christmas special, ‘Folk Up Yuh Christmas with Gavin and Chucky’.

The Christmas special is slated to be aired on the National Communications Network (NCN) and creolerock.com throughout this Christmas season. In addition, Gavin, who last year with bandmate, Chucky released volume one of Guyana folk songs will be working on ‘Folk It Up’ volume two, set for release in 2021. Volume one was released last year at the Guyana Cultural Association’s annual Folk Festival in New York.

The duo who had been playing folk music together for all of last year spent some of their time writing some original songs as well which will be made into an album. The songs are said to be a fusion of Guyanese culture and sounds with some good old Rock and Roll.
