Drummers from around will soon have the opportunity to participate in the country’s first drum festival next week Sunday and the chance to win over $1 million in cash and prizes.

According to a press release, Drum Fest 2018 will be hosted on February 25, from 3 pm at Lot 333 Cummings Street, Alberttown.

Up for grabs is $1.5 million in cash and trophies and other prizes.

The event is being hosted by CWS Entertainment and according to promoter Corwyn Williams, the art of drumming has faded considerably in Guyana, due to the lack of promotional sponsorship and support.

He said in the release that the event is geared at bringing together drummers from across the length and breadth of Guyana and it is expected to be annual with the hope of going international.

Interested persons can call 691-0963 or 647-4086 for registration.
