Genres we write for Guyana
- Chutney. Central here, not a side genre. Weddings, maticoor nights and family occasions.
- Chutney soca. When the occasion wants the tempo up but the rhythm section stays dholak and harmonium.
- Soca. Mash, birthdays, fetes and anything celebratory.
- Reggae and dancehall. Widely played, and a common request for something slower or harder.
- Gospel. Church anniversaries, thanksgivings, funerals and tributes.
- Guyanese folk. Traditional and acoustic, for heritage occasions and for grandparents.
A unique gift in Guyana, for the person who has everything
Most of these are bought as gifts, and a large share are bought from abroad. The reason people choose a song over another parcel is that nobody else can give the same one. It has their name in it, their story in it, and the thing only your family would know to mention.
- For the person who has everything. They already own what they need. They do not own a song about themselves.
- Sending from New York or Toronto. No barrel, no shipping, no customs. It is a link, so it arrives the moment you send it.
- Last minute. Ordered today, delivered tomorrow, so it still works when you have left it late.
- For Mash. A soca song for your own family, made for this year rather than borrowed from the radio.
- Group gifts. One song from the whole family, the whole office or the whole church.
Occasions people order for in Guyana
- Mashramani, 23 February. Republic Day. Mash is the biggest celebration on the calendar and a personalized soca song lands hardest here.
- Phagwah. Spring, colour and family. A chutney song written for your own people.
- Diwali. A public holiday and one of the biggest family occasions of the year. Deyas, the lights and the motorcade. A chutney or devotional song with the family names in it is the gift nobody else brings.
- Independence Day, 26 May. Guyana became independent in 1966. National occasions, school and workplace events.
- Emancipation Day, 1 August. Heritage occasions and family gatherings.
- Weddings and maticoor. A song written about the actual couple, in the style the family will actually dance to.
- Birthdays and milestone birthdays. Especially 16, 21, 40, 50 and 60.
- Funerals and tributes. A song about the person, for the service or for the family afterwards.
Lyrics in Creolese
We can write the lyrics in Creolese rather than standard English, so the song sounds like it came from home instead of from somewhere else.
One example of the kind of detail we get right. Guyanese Creolese is not Trini and it is not Jamaican Patois, and a song that blurs the three sounds like it was made for a generic "Caribbean" audience that nobody actually belongs to. Guyana is also the only English-speaking country in South America, which is exactly the sort of thing a page written from a distance gets wrong.
Questions people in Guyana ask
What is a unique gift to give someone in Guyana?
A song written about them. It is the one gift nobody else can duplicate, because it uses their name, their story and the things only your people know. It costs US$19.99 and arrives in 24 hours.
What do you get someone who already has everything?
Something they cannot buy for themselves. A custom song is about them rather than for them. Usually that means their name, the village they came from, and the thing the family still laughs about.
Do you make chutney songs?
Yes, and we treat chutney as central rather than as a side genre. Tell us if you want dholak and harmonium in the rhythm section and we build it that way.
Can I get a song made for Diwali?
Yes. Diwali is one of the busiest occasions we write for in Guyana. Chutney or a devotional song, with the family names in it, for the night itself or as a gift to an elder.
Can I get a song made for Mashramani?
Yes. Mash is the busiest season for this, whether it is a song for your band, your workplace, or just for somebody with a birthday in the middle of February.
Can the lyrics be in Creolese?
Yes. Tell us when you order and the lyrics are written in Creolese, so the vocal carries it rather than flattening it into standard English.
I live overseas. Can I buy a song for family in Guyana?
Yes, and this is common. You order from wherever you are, and the song arrives as a link you can send to anyone. The buyer and the recipient do not have to be in the same country.
How long does it take to get the song?
24 hours from when you order. If you need it for a specific date, tell us the date when you order.
What if the song is not right?
One free revision included. If a detail is wrong or the feel is off, tell us and we rework it.
Can I play it at a party or use it on social media?
Yes. The song is yours. You get an MP3 you can download, play at the party, send round the family WhatsApp, and post.
