Eddie had a big hit in UK with the song Electric Avenue, its a street in Brixton London which had the first electric light, hence the name, Perhaps they can honour his work with a similar street in Georgetown. I wasn't ware of the African Gardens, thanks for sharing, it looks like it needs a spruce up and preserving.
He could have built a school of arts and music and still put the park next to it. What's the three pillars? Guyanese need to start thinking out the box and promote more initiatives to benefit the Afro Guyanses community and it's contributions to modernizing Guyana. Come on this is lazy work.
Eddie Grant has a nice home in Barbados. The music scene in Guyana has been dormant for a long time. Trade Winds identified with caribbean folk and a little calypso ballads. Recently the likes of Terry Gagraj and Slingshot may have briefly revived guyanese chutney soca. Eddie Grant I believe was dabbling in soca music recently. Not sure. These days music studios may be going deeper into digital type production. Guyana eventually may start producing these home based studio music, whether locally or overseas Guyanese getting into it....we'll see. Eddie Grant may have thought about opening a local music studio. Guyana music industry too small currently. Trinidad survived because of their annual carnival road March and socal competition. It drives their need to create and bring their audience out in anticipation. Guyana I'm sure will follow along in both the genres of soca and reggae music.
Good to know that Eddie Grant built a mansion in Essequibo. Growing up in Guyana there used to be music scene where you can go listen to the Combo7, Rythmairs, The Telstars, The Young Ones of Guyana, Bumble and the Saints, Chet and the Diamonds, The Ramblers, etc....there were places like Belvedere, Sandhills Talk of the Town with Pancho Carew, Dog and The Bone etc.....unfortunately those music scenes of Guyana disappeared....I remember hanging out outside of the Pegasus, because the Tradewinds were playing at the poolside party.
Good to know he built a mansion. But the pillars is not doing it. He need to build a school of arts and music. He is celebrity. This man can get funding from the outside. I don't understand why only 3 pillars and left the place like that.
Actually that park can be modified to stage a local band at least every weekend. It may need financial support to provide power and other necessities, but with ads from local business, it may encourage the revival of Guyana’s music scene?
Thanks for sharing

Eddy grant also built a mansion on an island in the middle of the Essequibo river. You pass it on the way from Parika to Bartica.
