It has been three decades of blessing gospel music lovers with their unique style of singing and patrons are in for a treat as renowned Acapella group, Alabaster Box, celebrates its 30th anniversary with a concert on Saturday, February 28 at Silicon House, Tesano in Accra.
The 4:00 pm concert which is intended to climax the group’s anniversary celebration this month, promises an unforgettable evening of soul-stirring music and harmonies.
Established in 1995, Alabaster Box has been a household name in Ghana's gospel music scene, consistently pushing the boundaries of Acapella music.
And to mark this milestone, the group has put together a line-up of performances featuring other notable Acapella groups, including Grace Notes, Soul Street, Sons of God and Stewards of Grace.

This new song will showcase the group's unique sound, which they describe as "Afropella" - a blend of African indigenous harmonies and sounds with modern twists.
The quartet group, comprising Samuel Narku Dowuona, the leader, Gideon Allotey (Bass), Horst Ayub(Falseto), and Michael Allotey(Tenor), continues to inspire and uplift audiences with their music.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz on Monday, February 2, Samuel Dowuono said they group was looking forward with excitement to the D-day.
“The bible says, ‘a man’s gift makes room for him’. For three decades, the group has been graced by God to perform at very notable and high places including playing for Queen Elizabeth.
“The experience has been humbling and we encourage those who have supported us since we started and even the Gen Z’s to join us celebrate this great moment. The event will also be streamed live, and interested participants are encouraged to register in advance,” he said.
Alabaster Box has an impressive collection and three albums to their credit: Welcome to Goodbye, Unto the King, and Level Don Change.
