BUDDING gospel music group, Jubilare, have teamed up with Joe Mettle and Reverb Studio for this year’s Atmosphere of Worship scheduled for December 13 at the Physicians and Surgeons Hall in Accra.

Themed ‘Jehovah Nissi,’ this year’s event will see the launch of an album featuring several gospel ministers, including Joe Mettle, Tish, Luigi Maclean, Kweku Teye and Philip Adjale.

Speaking on behalf of the Jubilare Group at the launch which took place at Reverb Studio on Monday, November 17, President Deborah Asmah explained that the name Jubilare was derived from the Latin word for “make a joyful noise”, adding that it represents the ministry’s identity and an invitation to all who join their fellowship.

She added, “When the year is about drawing to a close, you realise that you’ve shouldered them, you didn’t fall apart. It could be that whatever you’re looking for you’ve gotten it, it could be that you are hopeful for what is to come in the next year.

“So ‘Atmosphere of Worship’ is basically where we are coming together to say thank you that we’ve not drowned, thank you that we are still standing, thank you in a way of hope for the breakthrough that will be coming along for answered prayers,” she said.

On his part, Joe Mettle said the partnership was his medium of supporting Jubilare with Reverb. He was optimistic the partnership will go a long way to help both parties and urged all and sundry to be at the event as a form of support.

Published

on

Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.

This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.

According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.

She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.

Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.

Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.

This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.

Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.

 It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.

The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.

The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.

Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.
