The Ghana as One gala night on Saturday, March 10 is just about set to fly and the promise of a luxurious dinner dance party as part of Ghana’s Golden Jubilee celebrations is the next big thing after the March 6 anniversary parade.

Event organiser Kojo Bonsu of Agoo Magazine fame is hoping to turn the Independence Square into a ‘Golden Village’ and treat about 4000 patrons to a sumptuous three-course dinner.

And while at it, fresh, refreshed as well as ever fresh music, played by their owners and composers including; Kojo Antwi, Pat Thomas, Paapa Yankson, AB Crentsil, Jewel Ackah, Ola Williams, Kwaku Gyasi, Batman Samini from the local front, complemented internationally by The Whispers, Howard Hewitt of Shalamar fame will be filling the air.

The foreign musical performers are already in town and have featured already in studio interviews and gigs on West Africa’s best radio station Joy FM.

A huge stage mounted for the musical performances will also feature an added catwalk to showcase an exquisite fashion-through-the years from GTP.

It is already touted as the biggest ever party to be celebrated in Ghana and with a formal dress code and Kente for ladies, Kojo Bonsu insists “We want to make it a world class event.”

“The whole of the facade of the Independence Square is going to change with the arena we are building to be called the ‘Golden Village’, complete with a huge stage and catwalk for various extraordinary performances which will make the gala an exciting and unusual dining and entertaining experience.”


According to event producer and head of communications, PaJohn Bentsifi Dadson, “There will be many surprises on the night! From the moment you arrive, you will travel through Gold Coast to Ghana, through 1957 to 2007, from Kpanlogo to ‘messop’, from gari foto to fried rice, from chooboi to Agoo! You’ve just got to experience it to appreciate it! We are going to pull everything to put on a good show. We want to bring Ghana right back into our hearts.”

Guests visiting the event, which is a private initiative by Joy FM and Agoo Magazine, supported by GTP and Woodin, Maggi, British Airways, Graphic Communications and TV3, will include visiting dignitaries who have been in the country to join in the March 6 Independence Day parade and State banquets.

The event is also supported by Guinness and Areeba.
