(“Welcome” in Twi), which is sung partially in Twi and English.Pop-Ska and Soul: Enjoy the driving rhythm of songs like “Cool To Be You”, a feelgood number about love across borders.Soaring Ballads: Experience the show’s emotional peaks, including the musical pop power ballad “Supahero”, and Gloria’s resilient declaration I Trust In Me – a new anthem for our new England.Rhythm and Blues/Soul: Feel the historical gravitas of abolitionist history with “Back for Good” sung in the show by a key character Ottobah Cugoano – baptised in St James in 1773 – a special resonance with the venue.This ambitious musical approach is overseen by leading London music director Richard Ampadu.The Performance and TalentThe evening will feature world-class talent.
