‘Entertaine­r Marlon’ aiming to reignite love for reggae

-

now the right time to make a return to the entertainm­ent scene in Guyana and put his knowledge and years of experience to good use. He added that persons who have attended events that he hosted during his prime frequently enquire about when he would return and bring quality entertainm­ent back to the local entertainm­ent scene. As a result, his intention is to bring good, clean and fun events to Guyanese patrons.

Griffith will be making his official return with a new event, called the “Jerk Reggae Jam,” which is billed for November 26th at The Jerk Bar, located at the corners of South Road and Cummings Street, Georgetown. He noted that the event will feature prerecorde­d live concerts of reggae stars, like Richie Spice, Anthony B, Popcaan and Koffee. He noted that his aim with the event is to show an appreciati­on for reggae music, which he calls music with meaning and not have a DJ on the microphone talking over the music. “Reggae is a genre of music that everybody loves, even the kids would sing along,” he said.

Griffith added that the event is aimed at persons who have an appreciati­on for Reggae Music and would like to relax after a hard day’s work while enjoying the feel of live concerts. “The whole idea is to bring a different kind of vibe to a bar setting. It’s for you to come out after a hard day’s work and free your mind while listening to some reggae music,” he explained.

He went on to say that he and the team working on the event hope to make it a monthly event in hopes of reigniting Guyanese patrons love for the reggae genre and also to possibly open the avenue for the hosting of more reggae concerts in Guyana.
