Art of War 2019 gets off the ground
At a simple yet entertaining media launch, Empire Media Inc. launched Art of War 2019 last week at the Turning Point Sports Bar, Tucville, La Penitence.
With much laughter and some serious faces, the DJs rivalled each other at the question and answer segment. Each declared that he will be the Art of War champion.
According to Spokesperson for Empire Media Inc. Mikhail DaSilva, “EMI has reignited and rejuvenated what was a dormant and dying dancehall and sound clash industry in Guyana. This was possible with the successful hosting of seven deejay clashes from 2016 to present.”
DaSilva added that Empire Media Inc. is excited with the rejuvenation and new energy seen in the dancehall industry.
He noted that DJs and sounds are getting the opportunity to showcase themselves to the world. He said that the winner of the Armageddon Clash 2018 (Notorious Sound) will represent Guyana at the Caribbean Kung Fu Sound Clash in St. Kitts in August.
The winner of Destination Badda Dan Guyana 2018 (Trinity Sound) will represent Guyana in Switzerland later this year.
On board with Empire Media Inc. this year for Art of War is Guyana Beverages Inc. as the official Energy Drink sponsor.
According to Mr. Raymond Govinda, Brand Manager, “Guyana Beverages Inc recognizes the importance of supporting cultural values within Guyana and providing a platform for local talents to grow and develop.
“Art of War provides the perfect platform for this to happen and to further the growth of our brand among this audience.”
Mr Govinda stated that the Guyana Beverages Inc. is proud to partner with Empire Media Inc. for Art of War 2019. The Turbo Energy Drink will be the official Energy Drink for Art of War.
He said that the Art of War Clash offers good vibes, entertainment and energy which is what the Turbo brand seeks to offer to consumers.
Art of War will be held on July 27, 2019 at the Sports Hall tarmac. It will feature eight of Guyana’s young promising DJs. These include DJ Kevin of Royalti Vybz Sound, DJ Guy of Mighty Ruler Sound, DJ Supreme of Notorious International Sound, DJ Versatile of Vigilante Sound, Jimmy Slaughta of Firehouse Sound, DJ Bandit of Spotlight Sound, DJ Dauren and DJ Damion.
The winner of the Clash will receive one million dollars and two round trip tickets to Jamaica. For more information you can check the Facebook page “Empire Media Inc.” or call telephone number 680-6720 or WhatsApp 862-233-0494.
