Heightened Anticipation for Next Weekend’s One Love -The Experience.
Caribbean Love Promotions Limited, hosts of reggae concert, One Love The Experience is ready to deliver a concert of epic proportions this month. The team behind the massive undertaking is not new to event promotion. They have successfully executed a number of parties and community events over the years and on April 13th, all of Trinidad and Tobago will get the opportunity to experience what they assure will be a concert like no other.
As the team prepares to deliver some of reggae music’s most mesmerizing artistes from Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, organizers assure that T&T’s reggae artistes, Isasha, King David, Mr. King, Black Loyalty and Jamelody, will receive the recognition deserved. With gates opening at 7pm they are urging patrons to show their support and patriotism by coming out early and experiencing the show from beginning to end.
Mario Robertson is one of the organizers of ‘One Love- The Experience.’ Together with the rest of his dedicated promotional team, he has thoughtfully assembled Glen Washington, Bushman, Louie Culture and Warrior King with the understanding that these artistes have not been seen by the people of T&T, for quite some time. The artistes, with the exception of Jamaica’s Glen Washington and Warrior King, will all be backed by T&T’s Kornerstone band. “It’s really important for us to give credit to our homegrown artistes and the musicians of Kornerstone because if we’re honest with ourselves, they are just as deserving of the fanfare, as any international artiste is,” said Robertson. He went on to explain that this concert will offer T&T’s acts a true opportunity to showcase their individual music catalogues as they share the stage with their counterparts from Jamaica.
One Love – The Experience.
On the premise of the concert and its importance at this time, Robertson said, “Our communities are reeling from loss. There is so much pain and trauma in our society. We need music that can heal, promote love, soothe and calm the spirit.” He explained that this was primarily the reason these particular artistes were chosen to build the One Love cast and explained that Caribbean Love Promotions Limited’s goal is to create a movement in T&T, through music, that will ultimately spread the message of peace, love, unity and brotherhood.
Security at the venue, a key point of assurance, Robertson and his team are hard at work, putting things in place. “We definitely understand and agree that the safety and comfort of all patrons is tremendously important. This area is one of the top priorities for us, on the night,” he said, revealing that security officers will be diligently working both inside and outside of the venue.
Excited to return to T&T and hit the stage on April 13th, at the Queen’s Park Savannah, the ever-conscious, Bushman has expressed his sincere gratitude to the people of T&T for always embracing him with open arms. This year, the 20th anniversary of his timeless hit single, ‘Down Town,’ the artiste anticipates performing the track at ‘One Love The Experience’ while at the same time, unleashing a brand new single called, ‘Whyne Dung.’ He says the new song is a fresh and vibrant addition to his musical repertoire. “I look forward to a night of unity, rhythm and positive vibes as I prepare to deliver a performance that truly reflects the resilience and spirit of reggae music.”
“This concert will invoke that nostalgia that comes along with memories,” said Robertson. He noted that many people would have grown up hearing the music of these artistes, reiterating, “It’s really an honor to bring them back to the big stage in T&T this year.”

Young, Coryn Clarke Hosts ‘Chronicles of Coryn Children’s Book Festival,’ This Sunday.
Children’s literature takes center stage in St.Kitts this Sunday, young, Caribbean author, Coryn Anaya Clarke hosts the Chronicles of Coryn Children’s Book Festival.
This landmark event, created by the young author and literacy advocate, will gather children, families, educators, and authors under the theme: “The Power of Us: Stories by Us, For Us.”The festival is proudly supported by First Federal Co-operative Credit Union as its official title sponsor. This partnership underscores the institution’s commitment to youth empowerment, community development, and literacy.
Executive Leader Member Services, Mrs. Sonja Fyfield-Hazel, shared her enthusiasm for the festival, saying, “This initiative aligns perfectly with our mandate to empower youth by showing them that true financial wealth is built on consistent habits formed from an early age. Our goal is to encourage children to develop smart money practices that lay the foundation for lifelong success. A festival that brings together children and parents in a fun yet educational environment creates the ideal launchpad for raising financially confident, and successful individuals.”
This year’s festival will feature dynamic voices from across the Caribbean, including celebrated Guyanese-Canadian author Yolanda T. Marshall and Grenadian author Alyssa Bierzynski.“Earlier this year, I set a goal for myself to share my book, Good Boy Milo, with children across the region,” said Bierzynski. “I am truly excited that it is happening and to be part of the Chronicles of Coryn Children’s Book Festival. Book festivals, like this one, are celebrations of storytelling and play an important role in promoting literacy and encouraging a love of books and reading among children, especially in this digital era. This will also be my first visit to St. Kitts, so I am looking forward to meeting all the young, and young at heart, readers,” she added.
Marshall, whose work has been recognized internationally for its cultural richness and authentic storytelling, noted the importance of amplifying diverse narratives. “I’m so excited to be reading, hearing stories from other authors, meeting everyone, and most of all performing alongside Coryn at the Chronicles of Coryn: Children’s Book Festival. We will dance, sing, play Soca, and have a literary fete. Be prepared to hear my stories like C is for Carnival. Bring your rags, bring your flags, and get ready to wave,” she said enthusiastically.
The one-day celebration will feature live readings and author meet-and-greets with Coryn, Yolanda, Alyssa, and other guest authors, in addition to cultural performances and interactive displays showcasing the vibrancy of the Caribbean. There will also be book signings, giveaways, and family activities designed to make reading fun and engaging.
Fresh off her success at CARIFESTA XV in Barbados, the young prodigy is now counting down to the first staging of her event in Saint Kitts and Nevis. Her standout participation at the regional cultural showcase not only highlighted her growing talent as an author but also positioned her as a vibrant ambassador for Saint Kitts and Nevis. With her storytelling, charm and natural confidence, Coryn captivated audiences.
“Stories have a special kind of magic, they can make you dream, laugh, and even see yourself in new ways. I’m super excited to share that magic at the Chronicles of Coryn Children’s Book Festival and to show other children in Saint Kitts and Nevis that their voices and stories matter too. Having our guest authors from Guyana and Grenada is BIG deal, I hope all of you come on out to hear everything they have to say. It’ll be fun, I promise!” said the youngster.
