‘Chronixx’ will be performing at the “Plant It” Chronixx Guyana Concert slated for Saturday, August 8 at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, East Bank Demerara.
The show is being promoted by Rastafarian Advancement Creed Empowerment (RACE) and is being held to encourage Rastafarians to plant organic food for the sustainability of Rastafarians across the world.
The Jamaican artiste will be the headlining act, with several others slated to perform. Those who will grace the stage on the night of August 8 are Guyana’s own First Born, Ila Man, Benjie Diamond and Gad Kid, Empress Idama and Empress Igina, along with Sister Petra and others.
Chronixx is expected to arrive in Guyana on August 3 with the Zincfence Redemption Band out of Jamaica. The concert is a collaborative effort by Rastafarians in Guyana and Overseas and is one of the biggest initiatives promoting the planting of organic foods. With Chronixx as the ambassador, the initiative is bound to draw a large following.
The Jamaican artiste’s popularity grew throughout 2012, with significant airplay in Jamaica, and performances at festivals such as Reggae Sumfest and a show in December at the Tracks and Records nightclub/restaurant in Kingston, which was attended by Usain Bolt.
In 2013, he had hits with “Smile Jamaica” and “Here Comes Trouble”, and he toured The United Kingdom and the United States with the Zincfence Redemption Band. The local artistes will be backed by the Irits Band out of the mining town of Linden.
In March 2013, he travelled to Kenya, where he has a large fan base, as a Peace Ambassador during the country’s general election, and performed at the Tuka Rada Peace Concert in Nairobi. In May 2014, he won Culture Artist of the Year, Best New Artist, and Entertainer of the Year at the Linkage Awards in New York. His singing career has blossomed since and there is definitely no holding him back.
In Guyana, he will be making several television and radio appearances, among other activities.
Tickets for the “Plant It” Guyana Concert cost $2500 in advance and $3000 at the gate.
