Caribbean Love Promotions will present a local and international fusion of reggae artistes for the One Love The Experience concert on April 13 at Queen’s Park Savannah, Port of Spain.
A cast of conscious singers, including world-renowned Jamaican acts Bushman (Dwight Duncan), Warrior King (Mark Dyer), Louie Culture (Lewin Brown), and Glen Washington, headline the all-star line-up.

Andre Butcher, one of the event promoters, said the longstanding message of peace, love, and unity these artistes have been advocating for over the past decades remains more relevant than ever.

We just want to push the message of peace, unity, and love,” he said.
