Carib Soca Costumes
– Carib Soca Monarch among highlights
Ansa McAl Trading Limited will be pulling out all the stops for Mashramani celebrations as they host and sponsor events under their flagship brands Carib, Stag and Smalta.
This, it is hoped, will ensure that quality entertainment is provided for all domestic and international tourists who want to sample a true “Guyanese party.”
Starting last night “Operation Stress Release” sponsored by Stag Beer was staged on the tarmac of the University of Guyana Campus. The Mash fever vibes are on at the Carib Mash Camp, located at the corner of Robb and Camp Streets in Georgetown, from 15:00hrs today, as Mega Soca artiste Machel Montano is scheduled to visit the camp to meet and greet visitors. Some might even take home free tickets to the star’s Mash night concert.
During the evening, patrons will get to sample a little of Carib’s grand plans for Mashramani while being entertained by Slingerz Sound System, among other attractions.
Carib Public Relations Officer, Darshanie Yussuf, said that “a few lucky persons will receive free tickets to the Carib Soca Monarch and the Mash Night Concert which Machel Montano will be headlining.
Other persons will receive free costumes to Mash in the Carib Band on Mashramani day along with other great prizes”.
Today, too, Smalta will ensure that the children of South Ruimveldt Park Primary take to the streets participating in the Children’s Mashramani competition as they celebrate Guyana’s 40th Republic anniversary.
This is the first year that South Ruimveldt Park Primary is participating in Mashramani and they are coming with a band of 40 children and 15 teachers. That school has already won several top prizes in the national schools’ competition.
The National Mash Chutney Competition is on at Canje, Berbice, and will see 18 finalists competing for the Chutney crown tonight. These artistes will be accompanied by Caribbean Hot Shots Band while overseas-based Guyanese Terry Gajraj and Trinidadian Ricky Jai are expected to perform as guest artistes.
The grand Carib Soca Monarch tonight at the National Park is geared to ensure that the bar is raised higher for Soca music in Guyana, with 10 impressive finalists providing the entertainment while vying for the coveted crown.
Ending off the packed weekend tomorrow, persons who want to relax after the grand celebration and prepare for fun on the streets on Mash Day can head down to the Aziza Akoza resort to enjoy a “Creek Jam” put on by Carib.
Persons are urged to come out and support these events which are sure to provide a unique experience as we gear to celebrate Mashramani 2010, the highlight of Guyana’s Republican status, under the theme ‘Embracing our Diversity, Celebrating our Heritage.’
