The Rise Ithiopia Foundation has unfortunately announced that the highly anticipated ‘Rise Up Ithiopians – 1st Edition’ which was to be held on January 26th, 2025, at Providence National Stadium in Guyana, has been postponed.

This would have been a major cultural event. The Abyssinians from Jamaica; Ras Afrikan Simba from Nigeria; and Wadi Gad from Trinidad were all confirmed to perform. This was also to be Ras Shiloh‘s first performance in Guyana.
