East Indian Musicians and Singers

As noted before on the home page, the aim of these pages is to highlight and advertise East Indian musicians who have gone almost entirely undocumented by the writers of music history in Guyana. There pages will showcase images of singers, dholak players, etc., as well as those who were not musicians but student who participated in art or music festivals or competitions such as Guyfesta. Images assorted from various sources by www.guyanaundersiege.com
