For a moment one had to wonder if they were on Jamaican soil or in Guyana as torches blazed for Digicel brand ambassador I-Octane in his first performance in Guyana. The occasion was the celebration of Digicel's fifth anniversary in that island at its national park on Friday, February 12.

The singjay blasted onstage with his usual burst of energy singing No LoveInna Dem, which had his fans screaming and hands in the air. The pressure intensified when he drew for hits such asMy Life, Nuh Ramp Wid Wi and Lose A Friend. It was sweet nostalgia when he went into his catalogue of old hits which included Stab Vampire and Different Page.

But it was when he did his two newest songs, Jah Jah and Nah Eat that I-Octane got the surprise of his life. He received the biggest crowd reaction for those songs.

"I didn't know it had taken off so much in Guyana, why even a lot of my fans in Jamaica don't know it yet," he said after his performance.

Following I-Octane's hour-long fiery performance onstage, it was time for R&B singer Keri Hilson. She could do no wrong for the music lovers there and scored with songs such as Return The Favour, Slow Dance and How Does It Feel.

The sibling group Morgan Heritage brought the curtains down on the show in fine style, performing hits such as Down By The River, Don't Haffi Dread and Best Friend.

Earlier in the evening, local acts got the chance to shine and they too performed togood response.
