August 6th is special for Jamaicans all over the world as it is the nation’s Independence Day. This year – 2022 – more than most because it is the diamond jubilee.

The Jamaican gospel community, based in Philadelphia, will be marking the event at True United Church, located at 6201 Old York Road. There will be performances by Papa San, Rosey Bee, King Arthur and Shirley Willis (from The Grace Thrillers).

The show is being presented by Josett A. Simpson Promotions, and there is a $60 USD entrance fee.
