On Saturday, J.T. Taylor will rejoin his former bandmates Kool & The Gang to celebrate the opening of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's new Sheraton Addis Hotel, dubbed "the most luxurious hotel in Africa." |

Taylor and the Gang will help keep the hotel guests "kool" while experiencing the new 295-room construction. The hotel cost an estimated $400 million to build. Equipped with 33 suites, 10 villas with personal swimming pools, seven gourmet restaurants and the largest conference facilities in the country, the hotel has been named the "Crown Jewel of Africa."

Designed as a neo-classical Italian villa, the hotel boasts lavishly manicured grounds and was designed to accommodate international travelers who wish to negotiate business ventures in Ethiopa.

The two-hour celebration is expected to draw a crowd of 2,000 people and will feature a fireworks display and light show. (Lana Fanelli)
