Last Sunday was Mother’s day and many events were organised to honour our mothers for their contribution to the society. 

Even though the celebration has ended, many still believe our mothers deserve more for their enormous role and to show appreciation, the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) Royal Temple in Ash Town, Kumasi, is organising Jazz Night for mothers.

The 4pm event will feature artistes such as Minister Bibi, Chief Kwame of Kumasi Cultural Centre, Barima and the UP Crew, Agya Yaw, Eddy, Emma, Minister Ike Osei among others.

In its third edition, Jazz Night is aimed at celebrating mothers and putting smiles on the faces of the selfless women who work hard to provide comfort for the family.

In an interview with Showbiz, Baffour Darko, the president of Jayco Incorporated, organisers of the event said, “Jazz is music which brings out good qualities such as swing, improvising and group interaction which is quite soothing”.

According to him, qualities of Jazz Music     which he said, “is one of its kind” could be compared to ­that of mothers.

“For three years, we have celebrated our mothers on Jazz Night and this year, it is our expectation that everything will go well with the organisation to bring out the pride in motherhood,” he stated.

Jayco Incorporated is a group made up of instrumentalists of the ICGC Royal Temple in Kumasi.  “Our aim is to make mothers feel only the instrumental versions of the songs we have composed. That is why it’s strictly a Jazz affair on the night,” he stated.

Other activities on the night will include a photo shoot and special dance competition for the guests and mothers. 

This year’s Jazz Night is sponsored by Berlucci Grafix and supported by Rag Fashions, Palmbook Studios, Henry Bridals, Mabrany Kitchen and New Age Drink.
