Unwavering Social Responsibility Keeps Redemption The Concert Going. Sizzla Kalonji Headlines The Way Forward.
Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. Wednesday, May 15th, 2024 -- Annually, the artistes whose messages are most needed, are chosen to deliver them at Redemption- the Trinidad and Tobago concert brand that has stood firmly for positive entertainment over the past nine years. On June 1st, much will be the same, as Sizzla Kalonji headlines the concert with messages of peace, unity and positive vibrations over all else. Redemption takes place at the Queen’s Park Savannah, just in time for the long holiday weekend.
Organisers, Tropix Entertainment, Java Nation and Johnny Q Limited, have made a major commitment to presenting the people of T&T with an elevated level of entertainment, the likes of which will see Steel Pulse, Collie Buddz, Christopher Martin, SuperCat, Jamelody and Mr. King, hit the stage, alongside Kalonji.
This year’s concert follows a 2023 show, which was headlined by Buju Banton. “Reggae music is powerful and resolute in its affirmations of positivity,” said Java Nation’s Ian Pantin. The team’s unwavering effort to bring Trinidad and Tobago back to a place of peace, comes from a place of personal compassion for country. “There is no denying the fact that society’s moral compass has shifted somewhat and we see this in the news headlines daily. As partners in the entertainment business, we believe it is our social responsibility to direct our people onto a more positive path,” said Pantin.
Each year, the tone for the show is depicted in the artistes chosen. Over the years, Tarrus Riley, Anthony B, Jah Cure, Sanchez, Luciano, Glen Washington, Beres Hammond, Morgan Heritage and countless others, have brought a variation of sweet reggae music. It is anticipated that this year, the addition of Super Cat will add some momentum – the artiste well known for hit dancehall tracks like, ‘Dolly My Baby’, ‘GirlsTown,’ ‘Cry Fuh De Youth,’ ‘My Girl Josephine’ and many others.
Patrons, confident in the Redemption brand, have already expressed excitement for ‘The Way Forward,’ indicating their loyal support for the concert that has certainly stood the test of time. “We are truly pleased and humbled by the support shown to Redemption over the years- by both patrons and sponsors who we consider partners. Executing a show of this magnitude annually, is no easy or simple feat. We work dedicatedly behind the scenes, trying our best to accommodate every partner, while presenting live entertainment that is purposeful and enjoyable. It’s never easy,” said Pantin.
Together with the team, Pantin says each year, patrons’ views are taken into consideration and efforts made to return one year later, with a show that is better than previously experienced. This year, one lucky patron will be the winner of a signature, gold and ruby encrusted, Redemption pendant, worth approximately $20,000TTD.
Redemption will deliver general admission, VIP all- inclusive, and VVIP Premium all-inclusive patron experiences. On the Redemption social media platforms, patrons have been consistently updated on the ongoing Redemption Roadshow where tickets and other prizes are given away each weekend. “Thanks to our kind sponsors, we have been meeting and greeting people across Trinidad and Tobago each weekend at the Roadshow. It’s been a great experience and we’ve had a lot of winners so far. We want to thank everyone for being great sports and encourage fans of reggae music to be a part of Redemption – The Way Forward on June 1st. It’s an experience we proudly encourage people to share in,” said Pantin.
