Digicel has announced its sponsorship of the 2024 edition of Guyana’s premier pan concert, PanJam, under the theme, “World of Colours”, a release from the company stated yesterday.
This annual event, now in its sixth year, showcases the vibrant sounds of the Caribbean, including, soca, reggae, chutney, calypso, performed by various artistes on steelpan. The 2024 edition of PanJam features a star-studded lineup, including the renowned Trinidadian pannist Joshua Regrello, who is also the brand ambassador for Digicel Trinidad. Regrello’s performance is highly anticipated and is expected to be one of the highlights of the event.
The release explained that PanJam began as a fundraiser organised by Reon Miller during his time as a law student, as a way to defray his tuition fees and since then, it has grown into a cultural phenomenon, drawing crowds from various demographics and celebrating the rich musical heritage of the Caribbean.
Digicel Communications Manager, Gabriella Chapman, expressed the pride the company felt in supporting the concert and acknowledged the effort and passion it took to make it a success. “We are incredibly proud to support PanJam 2024 and contribute to the celebration of Caribbean culture. We were impressed by the passion and dedication that Reon Miller and his team have put into making PanJam a premier event. Digicel’s sponsorship underscores our commitment to fostering cultural initiatives and supporting local talent. We believe in the power of music to inspire, connect, and uplift communities, and PanJam embodies these values perfectly.”
Meanwhile, Reon Miller, creator of PanJam, thanked Digicel for its sponsorship. “I took my time selecting the acts for the lineup this year, because I truly want the show to be bigger and better than the years prior… and thanks to Digicel, this will undoubtedly be the reality. Patrons can expect some of the very best out of Guyana, Trinidad and even as far as India, coming to perform to make this year’s PanJam the best one yet.”
This year’s PanJam 2024 is scheduled for July 27 at Parc Rayne in Houston, Georgetown and persons requiring more information about the event including ticket details and the full lineup, can visit PanJazz Concerts on Facebook, the release added.
