Out of a possible 10 points for conceptualizing, bringing to fruition and executing while sticking to a proper theme party with relevant décor Pulse entertainment would score 9 ½ for the masses supported Halloween ‘Thriller’ Party.
Saturday last the group managed to pack almost to capacity the Princess Poolside as the pirates of the world, mermaids, goons, goblins, sexy fairies, mummies, Princesses et al assembled in full costume for a magical night of make believe. So creative was the concept party that patrons such as Sexy vampires and werewolves abandoned their parties at other venues and showed up to enjoy the ‘pirate’ themed concept party. But this should not be a surprise as the group is noted for staging some of the most creative events in Guyana such as cooler fete, summer fete etc. Amongst those in attendance were local celebrities such as media operatives: Michael Younge who was a sexy blood thirsty vampire with pink make up while Mondale Smith was dressed as a pimp and designer Trevor Rose was a freaky pirate. The events coordinator was rock star pirate.
Thriller was born four years ago and has since grown into a tradition of Guyanese party goers, Halloween is a celebration derived centuries ago as a Celtic Festival also known as the day of the dead and beliefs that the soul of the deceased would be available and roaming, this festival was mostly celebrated in the north Americas. However apparently there was not too many who celebrated that concept.
Pulse entertainment has taken this dark festival and converted it into an annual event that everyone looks forward to, being able to dress in costumes of all characters, this year’s theme: Pirates was inspired by the movies Pirates of the Caribbean. Pulse Entertainment’s Chief Executive Mr. Robbie Singh clung to the concept months ago and called on Three (3) times Costume Designer of the year Mr. Trevor Rose to bring his vision to reality, they both wanted to make patrons feel like they were a part of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean so work commenced on Monday October 22, just five days before the event it would seem like a miracle was needed to pull off the construction of a sixty (60) plus feet Black Pearl Pirate ship and convert the princess poolside into a breathtaking masterpiece.

Pulse Entertainment opened the doors of princess poolside to patrons around 20:00hrs (8PM) as party lovers were amazed by the life sized props. Some even commented saying it was the most creative work ever done by an entertainment group leaving patrons spellbound.
Patrons was also treated to Mermaids swimming in the pools and painted characters from the movie created by Bravo arts, the venue was almost to capacity in less than two hours after the doors was opened as everyone danced to the music by Pulse Entertainment’s Dj Ryan Ramroop and Trinidad Dj Marcus Williams; not long after soca sensations Swappi and Shal Marshal of Trinidad graced the stage and sent the crowed poolside into a frenzy, it was indeed an experience that will have patrons talking for a long time.
Pulse entertainment would like to thank our Production team at Image Marketing: Gaitri Roopnaraine, Andrew Mendes and many other too numerous to name. Also without the support from our sponsors this event would not have been such a success so thanks to Banks DIH limited under the Banks Beer and XM Rum Brands and GT&T Blackberry Service, Gizmos and Gadgets, Glamour Designer Brands, Purple Dash Boutique, Computer High Tech, Hallmark, Lifestyles, Charisma Styles, BM Soat Auto Sales, Zoon Online Shopping, Giftland OfficeMax and Princess Hotel & Casino. The next Pulse event: TEASE this Saturday November 3rd at Palm Court.

The Guyana National Stadium was one big soca party last Saturday as Pulse Entertainment held their Pulse Summer Fete featuring the Karma Band, Shal Marshall and Machel Montano and the HD band. It didn’t rain but EVERYONE was WET!!!

The hype, the revelry and the exhilaration of Carnival was what was dished out to the Guyanese patrons. The show opened with the Karma Band performing everything imaginable from dancehall to rap to R&B to soca and of course their chutney hits. They were later joined by Shal Marshall who performed his hits such as “Type Ah Wine”, “Trouble”, “Whole Day” and “Don’t Stop Wine.”

After a brief interlude (filled with music played by local DJs to keep the hype) Machel and the HD band were introduced. He was accompanied by Farmer Nappy and Patrice Roberts. Before his performance, Guyanalive got a chance to chat with him. When asked, what are people to expect for his performance he said “bare love and energy”.

And that is indeed what patrons got. Machel rushed on stage signing “Advantage” with his dancers in tow. Energy was ever-present and love, well Machel really and truly loves Guyana. He sang an old Guyanese hit “Bangali Babu” and paid homage to the residents of Linden.
Farmer Nappy joined Machel on stage and belted out his hits such as “Surrender”, “You Make Me”, and “Flirt” to name a few. Machel then took over and increased his pace. Energy on loud! A Machel Montano show is not complete without a dancing display by his very flexible and overly hype dancers. Dancing lessons, patrons take note.

The lone female in the band, Patrice Roberts came out next and had the crowd in a frenzy as she sang songs such as “I Am Soca”, “Temper Wine” “Push Bumper” and “Slow Wine”. There wasn’t a dry person in the stadium when the HD band completed their performance.
Throughout the show, Machel took patrons on the ultimate soca journey with hits such as “Illegal”, “Bottle Ah Rum”, “Gyal Wuk” “Bend Over”, “Mr Fete”, “Vibes Cyan Done”, “Pump Your Flag”, “Congo Man”, “Go Down”, “One More Time”, “Craziness”, “Toro”, “Wining Season” and many many more.

By the way, Machel was accompanied by his mother who looked on as her son did what he does best; his success must be credited to her overwhelming support, I’m sure!
