MUSIC VIDEO: “We Are The World” – Flash Back

USA For Africa – We Are The World [30th Anniversary] [HD with Names]

This historic recording was released on April 23, 1985 and came about on the heels of Bob Geldof’s U.K. project, “Do They Know It’s Christmas” [December 1984], both directed to help famine relief in Africa.

Produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian, recording began on January 22, 1985 with Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson at Kenny Rogers’ Lion’s Share Recording studio in Beverly Hills.

Dec 23, 2019  News

Guarantees that petroleum production will be transformative for Guyana’s economic development and usher in prosperity for the people of the country are non-existent, according to the Peoples Progressive Party (PPP).

The parliamentary opposition gave its gloomy outlook over the weekend, on the short term fortunes of the nascent oil and gas industry.

According to the PPP, the announcement of ‘first oil’ should have fueled the hopes and aspirations of Guyanese across the country, given the opportunities in the oil and gas sector.      Continue reading →

Posted by: Denis Chabrol in Demerara Waves – December 23, 2019 

The United States Congressional Research Service (CRS), a think-tank for the United States (U.S.) Congress, says some analysts believe that the David Granger-led coalition is likely to win next year’s general elections.

“Past general elections in Guyana suggest the 2020 race will be close, but some analysts contend the APNU/AFC’s multiparty and cross-ethnic coalition is likely to sustain the Granger government in power,” the CRS said in its December 6, 2019 edition. 

Granger’s People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) is the largest party in A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) umbrella which includes the often vocal Working People’s Alliance (WPA). The Alliance For Change (AFC) is the second largest party in the entire coalition.      Continue reading →

DEAR GUYANA: A poem by Ronald J. Daniels

12/24/2019 – 12:08 am

DEAR GUYANA

Dear Guyana, you’re now an open door
You are attracting droves of folks to your shores
You’re ranked number one for the eco tours
A lot has changed since oil is dripping from your pores

You’re no longer pre-historic like the dinosaurs
Unless its your fossils that are being accounted for
You’re no longer Ghana, but Guyana for sure
No longer a dot on the map; no longer obscured
