Guyanese have been raving about Jackie ‘Jaxx’ Hanover’s beautiful rendition of “Guyana” since she performed it at the inauguration of the 9th executive president Mohamed Irfaan Ali last Saturday at the National Cultural Centre (NCC). Her melodious voice saw the NCC erupting in applause at the end.
The four-year-old song has been performed locally by the singer on numerous occasions as well as in North America, the Caribbean and Asia. Anyone who had never heard the song or the singer prior to last Saturday, surely know of her now. Many have posted to social media that the outstanding execution of the song gave them “goosebumps”, while others have dubbed the song Guyana’s second “national anthem”.
‘Jackie Jaxx’ came on the local scene in 2010 as a newcomer in the Carib Soca Monarch Competition under the Ssignal Productions label. Her song “Guyana” is one of ten original releases by her.
