All roads lead to the National Park tonight for the Roots Fest international show that features Jamaican artiste Bushman and his band, as well as Guyana’s own First Born in concert.
The show was postponed to today upon the advice of Home Affairs Ministry officials. The promoters are promising that there will be no glitches as was the case with the last show hosted by another promoter.
Promoter Justin Leigh, called Roots Man, told this publication that “Everything is paid for and all is in place. People just need to come out and have a good time.”
The artiste, Bushman, and his full band were scheduled to arrive in Guyana last night and will today be making several promotional stops before performing tonight.
This is the first time that the Jamaican artiste Bushman will be performing Live in Guyana.
Tonight’s show is the first on the heels of the Mash Explosion that exploded when Baby Cham and Anthony B arrived in Guyana but did not perform. For the persons who bought tickets for the previous show date the promoter has assured that those tickets are still valid and are still on sale at the same locations.
Some of the proceeds from the show will be donated to the less fortunate children at several children’s homes.
This is the group’s first show with plans for at least two others for 2010.

Promoter Justin Leigh called Roots man who is at the helm of the Roots Fest has confirmed to this publication that the concert has been postponed until March 20.
This comes on the heels of the Mash Explosion that proved disastrous and rubbed patrons the wrong way when the artistes did not show up.
Leigh said too that the artiste was ready to travel void of any glitches and was looking forward with anticipation to performing in Guyana for the first time but noted that "We were advised by senior Home Affairs officials to postpone the show until then."
For the persons who bought tickets the promoter seeking pardon for the inconvenience said tickets are still valid and are still on sale at the same locations.
He advised that some of the proceeds from the show will be donated to the less fortunate children at several children’s homes.
This is the group’s first show with plans for at least two others for 2010.
