Tessanne to perform at ‘From Jazz with Love’

RED Entertainment is presently finalising arrangements for the hosting “From Jazz with Love” fused with its signature event “Kiss My ART Festival” billed for the HJ Water World, East Bank Demerara, on September 26.

‘From Jazz with Love’ Music Festival will feature an evening of funky jazz, soul and art from across the Caribbean region and will see Jamaican artiste Tessanne Chin, Arturo Tappin of Barbados and Guyana’s own Romeo “Mystic” Nermal performing.

Chin is the winner of Season 5 of NBC’s reality TV singing competition The Voice. She has opened for famous acts such as Pattie Labelle, Peabo Bryson and Gladys Knight.

On the other hand, Arturo Tappin is considered by most, one of the smoothest and most soulful saxophonists in the Caribbean with his unique funky jazz, a healthy dose of Caribbean soca and reggae to boot.

Finally, Nermal also called “Coolie Bhai” has become a local sensation with his well-known hit ‘Coolie Bhai’ and his reggae original tracks that he composed. He has been performing at various events both locally and internationally.

However, the event will also feature artistes from Guyana, such as a young local band named Collage and Bravo Arts and Classique Dance Company performing a body art dance.

Local art will also be on sale. Part proceeds will go to the Rotary Club of Demerara to contribute to their ongoing initiatives that focus on improving the lives of Guyanese.

Tickets will be available from September 1, at E-Networks (Camp Street), Giftland Mall and Footsteps Mega Store.
