Mr. Vegas and Fans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mr. Vegas, Jamaican born dancehall superstar is no stranger to Guyana\u2019s shores and each time he has gone above and beyond to please his Guyanese fans, Friday night was no different. The location was GNS Ground on Carifesta Avenue, the reason was a part of the 252nd anniversary celebrations of Guinness worldwide.<\/p>\n

Decked out in a white suit and blue shirt, Vegas in classic energetic style ran on to the stage to \u201cI am blessed\u201d and immediately had the full attention of the large crowd. As expected he continued to belt out hit after hit from the 90\u2019s up to 2010. Vegas also sought to pay homage to the reggae greats that put Jamaican and by extension Caribbean music on the international arena. He proceeded to sing some hits from Dennis Brown and the late great Bob Marley. One of the more entertaining aspects of Vegas\u2019 performance was when he invited one of his dancers to whine for the audience. Decked out in \u2018pum pum shorts\u2019 and fish net stockings Tenisha, as she was introduced, moved and trembled while backing the crowd, causing the men to focus their attention on the screen as the cameramen zoomed in on the action for all angles.<\/p>\n

Natural Black provided some conscious reggae lyrics in order to get the crowd going and ready for Mr. Vegas. Widely considered as being Guyana\u2019s most popular solo reggae artiste, Natural Black, gave a satisfying performance for almost an hour belting out hit after hit to the large crowd. Songs such as \u201cSorry Feeling\u201d and \u201cGideon boot\u201d were among the selections the prolific artiste sang
\n.
\nAs expected the concert was streamed live across the Caribbean so that Guinness drinkers and music fans could enjoy the celebrations from their favorite bars, pubs or even in the comfort of their homes. The event brought the curtains down on a worldwide celebration of Guinness, but even as the dust settled and the elaborate Guinness decorations are packed up, the ceremonial drinkers will retire back to their respective beverages and wait until next year, the real Guinness fans will however continue to savor the taste of the \u201cdark\u201d beer whether there is a promotion or not. Guyanalive.com salutes Guinness on accomplishing 252 years of excellence and pledge to continue to raise our glasses, cups and bottles in honor of a man named Arthur and a beer called Guinness; TO ARTHUR!<\/p>\n
