In an effort to reward local artistes during the Mashramani Season, Hit and Jams Entertainment will soon launch an exciting initiative that will see them being recognized for their outstanding contributions especially as we celebrate 44 Years of Republic Status.
The number one entertainment group in the land will unveiled its HJ M-As that will see the viewers of HJTV and the Listeners on 94.1 Boom Fm voting for the artistes of their choices who they feel have the best song and music videos.
There will be a number of prizes to be won in various categories. These include; Best Groovy Soca; Best Power Soca; Best Collaboration; Best Producer; Best Music Video and the song of the season.
Apart for the soca songs and videos; the calypsonian will not be left out since there will also be an award for the Best Calypso. The young chutney singers will also be included as an award is set aside for the Best Chutney Song. There will also be an award for the best song writer.
Since Guyana’s Mash celebrations have taken on a new dimension over the past years, the directors of HJ feel that the times has come to add some spice to this year’s celebration thus the awards. As we all know, Mash is about soca vibes; costumes; gyrating and having a grand time and this new initiative will boost the local music industry in a very big way.
Remember, listeners and viewers can only vote for the songs and the music videos that are played on HJTV and 94.1 Boom. They can vote via social media, including facebook and twitter.
Once the winners are selected by an audited account of the votes cast, they will receive their prizes on March 16 at the “94.1 Turns One” concert at the National Park Arena.
