As time draws close for the highly anticipated “Night of Legends” which is expected to feature international R&B singer, R Kelly Hits and Jams Entertainment has been adding a few regional artistes to the cast that will add some flavour during the concert.
Two weeks after the postponement of the event which was billed for August 24 at the Guyana National Stadium, Jamaican Reggae group Morgan Heritage was added to the cast. Trinidad’s number one crossover band, JMC 3Veni featuring KI, Nishard and Neval were already on the card to perform.
The new addition to the cast will be Kees and his band; one of the hottest soca bands out of the Twin Island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Kes the Band is described as island Pop or Caribbean Pop, and has graced stages in Guyana several times since their establishment in 2005. The band is recognised largely for songs such as ‘Wotless’, ‘Precision Wine’, ‘Where yuh from’, ‘Stressaway’ and ‘Coming over’.
The band consists of founding members Kees Dieffenthaller (lead vocals), Hans Dieffenthaller (drums), Jon Dieffenthaller (guitar) and Riad Boochoon (bass guitar).
Patrons will see some of the most remarkable performances in the R&B, reggae, soca and chutney genres of music in one concert, making it one memorable experience.
R Kelly is due to arrive in Guyana on October 18 while the other bands will arrive a day earlier. Taking into consideration the artistes that have already been added and those to be added, ticket prices have been jacked up.
Those who already have their general admission tickets are fortunate since new prices has been regulated and will now cost $6000 and the VIP which cost $20,000 will be increased to $35,000.
Nevertheless, those who wish a refund of their tickets are asked to make contact with the Hits and Jams Entertainment Office at Lance Gibbs Street, Georgetown.
