Saiku’s “You” album: The biggest album launch by a Guyanese artiste (The Pioneers 2017 Series – 4th Feature)

Last night I had the privilege of being present at a concert for the launching of Saiku’s album, “You.” This concert was an historical event. It was the biggest album launch by a Guyanese artiste. Over ten thousand persons turned up at the National Park to support him. Rain came down several times during the event but this did not deter persons from remaining until the end of the event.

  

The lineup of Gospel performers were as follows:

1. Pex Band

2. Shawn English

3. Sean Sobers

4. Trice Anointed

5. Melissa Vandeyar

6. Trenacia Esseboom (A Guyanese who resides in Barbados)

7. Eion Greaves (A Guyanese who resides in USA)

8. Anil Azeez (A Guyanese who resides in Trinidad)

9. Kester D

10. Solid Youth

11. Toisha Andrews (Saiku’s wife)

2nd Half

1.Kevin Downswell (From Jamaica)

2. Earl Bishop featuring Shawn English

3. Saiku Andrews

4. Prodigal Son (From Jamaica)

5. Atta Boafo (African Gospel Artiste)

Leading up to the album launch was the “Pillow Could Speak” challenge where persons had to upload a video of them singing the song. The person who sang the song the best was selected to perform the song along with Saiku. Trishanna Mc Collins won the challenge and performed with Saiku on stage. She did an excellent job (See my Tuesday, 28 March, 2017 article for more information on the Pillow Could Speak Challenge).

The MCs for the event were Jasmine Harris and Carson Jack who also did a great job. It was a night filled with worship, praises unto God, and celebration of Saiku’s achievement.
