JNâs Musical Feast Delights
âTogether Weâre Strongâ serves up variety of Jamaican performing arts
The Jamaica National Group made good on its promise to provide a bountiful buffet of musical treats to kick-start Christmas, with an exhilarating concert dubbed âTogether Weâre Strongâ on Christmas Sunday, December 20.
More than 40,000 people across the groupâs social media platforms tuned in and remained glued for two solid hours of electrifying performances from instrumentalists, singers and poets; and for reminiscences of Christmas traditions, present and past.
The event, which was organised to raise funds for hundreds of vulnerable children cared for by the Mustard Seed Communities, provided a boon for the charity, currently reeling from COVID-19, which has significantly affected its sources of funding.
