All is set for ‘Love is 30’ in February!
‘Love is 30’, an annual event put together by KobinaAnnanMusic, Yine Win and friends, has been running for the past three years, comes off on Sunday, February 20 at 5pm at the Christ Square of the Pleasant Place Church, Accra.
The event, which is faith-focused, was designed to encourage love and romance among singles and couples.
Love is 30 was inspired by 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 with the aim of redefining how the world views love.
It is under the theme: ‘Love is 30; Dedicated to Bishop and Lady Olivia Titi-Ofei on their 30th Wedding Anniversary This Year’.
Bishop and Lady Olivia Titi-Ofei have been married for the past 30 years, a feat that inspires many young couples in the church and the country as a whole.
Their long-lasting union and the love between them continue to grow stronger everyday to inspire young couples on how to sustain a healthy marriage.
Even after 30 years of marriage, Bishop and Lady Rev Titi-Ofei are still in love and would share with young couples and singles their experience on what has kept them in a 30-year-old marriage.
With his many years of leadership skills coupled with biblical principles, there is no doubt that Bishop Titi-Ofei will leave an everlasting message in the minds of participants at this year’s event.
The programme combines Jazz and soul music, poetry and dance among others.
Legendary Ghanaian gospel musician and founder of the Asomafo gospel group, Yaw Sarpong, is reporteddead.
The 66 year old gospel artiste is said to have died at the Emena Hospital in Kumasi on January 20, where he was receiving medical treatment.
For sometime now, Yaw Sarpong had been dealing with prolonged health challenges, forcing him to reduce his public appearances and step away periodically from performances.
Yaw Sarpong is widely credited as a pioneer of contemporary Akan gospel music.
Through Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo, he introduced a distinctive sound marked by rich harmonies, disciplined arrangements and lyrics firmly grounded in Christian teachings.
His leadership and musical direction helped shape the identity of gospel music in Ghana for decades.
Some popular tunes by the group includes ‘Wo Haw Ne Sen’, ‘Tie Obiaa’, ‘Aduro Yesu’ and ‘Awurade Kasa’, tracks that continue to feature prominently in churches and Christian gatherings across the country.
Yaw Sarpong’s death comes barely some weeks after the passing of Maame Tiwa, a key pillar of the Yaw Sarpong’s Asomafo music group.
