Guyanese@yahoogroups.com Message dated 1/25/2004:
We have had a number of requests for information about recent CD and DVD releases by Guyanese artistes and we ask for your assistance to respond. We will compile a list and share it with you in this forum by February 7th. We will also post the list at our web site and maintain it there through the rest of 2004.
To date we know of "Voice of Guyana" - Terry Gajraj; "Don't Rock De Boat" - D'Ivan; "Jump for Carnival" - Slingshot; and "Feeling Good" - Tony Mangra. These are, of course, in addition to the controversial "I will resign".
Please send the recording title, the performer's name and the genre (calypso, chutney, soca, reggae, etc.) by email to music@eCaroh.com. If you have information about the producer or the local and international sales outlets please send those details too.
