Waterfalls Magazine – One of the newest entertainment companies on the block, Melo Entertainment has taken the industry by storm. The company has been bringing new life to Region one with some unforgettable concerts and shows held there recently.
The most recent one was held on June 15 at Arakaka and Kaieteur News was there to witness at an event that reportedly brought back some “life” to the Region One community after some two years.
Its main economy is mining and while it is rich gold, very rarely do the residents get any exposure to concerts and shows featuring popular artistes in Guyana. In order to enjoy some entertainment and recreation, they would have travel for hours and endure the harsh trails to more developed communities like Baramita, Port Kaituma and Mabaruma.
Melo Entertainment took on the responsibility to plan a small budget concert for Arakaka called an “All Black Jaray”, featuring some top Entertainers in Guyana. These include, DJ Magnum, Chutney Sensation, AW Lyrical, DJ Garwin One Guyana, Granny IV and The Bad Family Music’s Issibaby.
The company collaborated with an individual called Keevin to host the event at Wendy Phillips Place in Arakaka.
At the time Melo Entertainment decided that he would be bringing “some life” to Arakaka after two years.
It was after some electrifying performers that Kaieteur News heard the patrons and residents conversing that “Arakaka has been under a rock for a very long time”.
Kaieteur News decided that maybe it should ask what they mean by that. Their response was that, “It has been years now since any one held a big show in Arakaka”.
They explained too that it is a small community that is sometimes forgotten by the rest of Region One and perhaps the rest of the country.
The residents said that they were grateful for the event because it gained attraction from other villages and they did not have to travel a lengthy distance for some leisure.
In an invited comment from Melo Entertainment, a representative said, “ While the main goal of any company is to make profits, Melo Entertainment is also focused on assisting in the development of Guyana’s hinterland region as tourism destinations, where the coast-landers and even foreigners can get away from the busy city life, to relax and just have fun”.
