A surprising display of talent
Dear Editor,
You might be receiving this mail after I have left my homeland Guyana. I am not a regular visitor to my beloved country Guyana due to my work commitments, but I was very happy that I could have been here for GuyExpo 2010.
I visited the exposition site every night except for Friday because my cousins took me to see a standup comedy show at a downtown restaurant. I did not know that Guyana had another comedian other than the famous Habeeb Khan, so I asked one of my cousins if we were going to see Habeeb Khan again.
They responded in the negative and said that the guy we were going to see was Habeeb Khan’s son. I learnt later on that this was not so. However he was amazing and very funny. Indeed he actually looks like Sinbad from America. The show in itself was really good as it featured some great singers.
I especially enjoyed the calypsonians but it was the comedian ‘Chow Pow’ that really rocked and set the night alive. He is a class act and I would recommend him any day. What surprised me too was that on Saturday night I was to come face to face with Chow Pow again at the GuyExpo and this time he was performing on stage there.
He is really talented. However, I watched all of the stage presentations there and was very pleased with the entire show there on Saturday night. It featured almost every aspect of our rich Guyanese culture of which I hadn’t seen for quite some time especially the Amerindian dancers. I would like to say hats off to the organizers and producers of that show.
Aren’t our singers capable of carrying these shows themselves? Or is GT&T the only company that promotes local talent. I do hope that it is not so for I have seen many a Jamaican artiste, some of whom don’t fit the bill. Those Guyanese artists that I have seen at the GuyExpo are very talented. I hope that at some point I will be able to see some of these acts in the USA, especially the comedian.
