New Yorkers can definitely look forward to welcoming Jamzone Summer Break this year as plans have been confirmed to host this event at The Village, Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y.C. on August 09, 2014!
The United States is home to the largest number of Guyanese outside of Guyana with a high percentage of the Guyanese-American community living in New York. With this in mind, it is only fitting that we take this home-grown occasion to this area.
Guyanese overseas and foreigners who have never gotten the opportunity to experience Jamzone will finally be able to do so as organizers are in the process of making arrangements for Jamzone on an international stage!
Local entertainment giant Hits and Jams Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer Rawle Ferguson and Director Kerwin Bollers, along with U.S. based promoters are yet to release the acts set to perform when Guyana’s biggest event is taken to New York City.
By taking the product outside the local market, Hits and Jams Entertainment believes that our country will be promoted on a higher level and the goal of broadening the tourism arena will eventually be reached.
In the startup period of the business, the small team aimed to create a beach atmosphere and focused their energies on doing just that for the first attempt at Jamzone Summer Break in 2000.
Now, more than a decade later, Jamzone has moved from a simple one-day beach affair to a ten-day long (and soon to be two-week long) string of events, ranging from international Pageants to Jazz Festivals. International artists such as John Legend, R. Kelly, Trey Songz, Rick Ross, Eve, Sean Paul, etc., have touched these shores to perform at concerts organized by this organization and today, Hits and Jams Entertainment is highly recognized for the achievement of Jamzone.
