SINGERS Mary Isaacs and emerging sensation Asante Amen are headliners at Taste of African Cuisine at Twelve Tribes of Israel’s Hope Road headquarters in St Andrew, on Friday. Showtime is scheduled for 7:00 pm.

The event will be held under the distinguished patronage of Yodit Hylton, Honorary Consul of Ethiopia, to celebrate Enkutatash, the Ethiopian New Year. Part-proceeds will go towards the Jamaican Rastafarian Development Community Elementary School in Shashemene, Ethiopia.

Keyboard player Ozou’ne and Pon Fyah Band are billed to complement the evening’s musical offering which will also see an auction.

“I look forward to sharing my inspirational music at this appropriate time of the celebration of the Ethiopian New Year,” said Amen.

A singer/songwriter, Amen (given name Gavin Walters) is known for tracks including Rastafari’s Love, Praises, Caan Manage, and Say Yes.

Isaacs, who is known for her sultry performances in genres ranging from jazz to reggae and R&B, promises an evening to remember.

“I will be pulling out all the stops as I draw from my extensive repertoire of hits that I have covered and some of my own successful originals,” she said.
