Gospel Café Night

On November 3, kids, parents and UB students filled the Private Dining Room in the Student Center. What was happening was the Gospel Café, hosted by the UB Gospel Choir. There were a lot of acts consisting of dancing, rapping, singing and poetry reading.  The Private Dining room was decorated with dim lighting and lush colors that induceda calm, relaxing atmosphere.  Also, the servers were very professional and the performers made Gospel Café an unforgettable night.   

                Cece Geter, the event's host, opened the evening, speaking eloquently and with a soothing tone that made sitting through the program easy. She was very polite and she made sure everything went smoothly.  Every performance was great; there were performances by the UB Praise Team, UB Gospel Choir, Chris Singleton, Jasmine Liz, Kontrell, Tim Law, Cory, Khori, Crasea Jenin, Shawn Terrell, Bishop J.C. White and Michael Jean.  The audience was accepting to every message that was being presented by each performer. For example, Kontrall, a singer, had everybody standing and clapping to his song and Tim Law had most of the audience singing the song "Brighter Day," by Kirk Franklin along with him.

                The event was so good that when it was over the drummers, guitarist and pianist kept playing which caused some people from the audience to dance and praise the Lord. Chris Singleton, one of the performers, made the crowd smile and clap when he used "There Goes My Baby" by Usher and turned it into "There Goes my Chicken."  Apart of the song went, "there goes my chicken; you smell so good, mouth waters just looking at you…" It was a nice rendition by Singleton.  Not only the singing was good, but so was the rapping. For instance, the crowd liked Christopher Woods rap songs so much that they were standing and putting their hands in the air.  Another performance that was an eye catcher was Khori's dancing. Her skilled and diligent dancing left the audience speechless.

All of these performances paired with the great atmosphere proved to be one of the greatest event held on the UB Campus. Let's just say, the audience did not waste their money or time coming to the Gospel Café.
