Guyana: The Election Campaign

With the stakes so high, it is evident that temperatures will rise further as the campaign progresses and the situation must be immediately tamped down.Both major contestants will know that their supporters can get carried away in the heat of the moment and do things that are entirely beyond the pale.

Dr. Moses Telford: Music is his Life – By Dr. Dhanpaul Narine

Dr. Moses Telford is the personification of what a true musician should be: calm, unruffled, caring and above all talented. Over the years Dr. Telford has crossed continents and has shared his love of music with the world and the world has reciprocated by bestowing many honors on this illustrious son of Guyana.
