Fresh off the heels of their sold-out One Love Sizzla Kalonji concert, the powerhouse promoters Bush Magic Events, Magic Box Agency, and Sound Forge return with another groundbreaking celebration rooted in rhythm, culture, and unity. This Independence Day, Trinidad and Tobago will experience a night dedicated to the heartbeat of our local reggae scene as the second edition of the One Love series takes over Sound Forge on Sunday 31st August. Gates open at 9:00 PM, with the first live performance starting at 11:00 PM sharp.


This special Hard Local Edition promises an unforgettable showcase of homegrown reggae talent. Taking the stage will be lyrical firebrand Prophet Benjamin, bringing messages that pierce through the noise with purpose and power. Alongside him, Jamelody will uplift the queens with the richness of his melodious voice, smooth and soulful, a sound crafted for the heart. Mr. King reminds us there are no borders only bridges inviting all to feel the transformation and unity at the Sound Forge, where vibrations speak louder than words.


Joining them is a stellar cast including Ziggy Ranking, King David, Orlando Octave, Jahllano, Levi Myaz, Revelation X, Jah-Z Blaze, Rheon Elbourne, and many more. Together, this lineup promises a night filled with rhythm, roots, and revolutionary energy, all pulsing to the sound of local reggae in its purest form.
But this event is more than just a concert. It’s a full celebration of identity and culture, a musical expression of what it means to be Trinbagonian. Reggae, deeply woven into the island’s fabric, becomes the soundtrack of our independence. The call is clear: come dressed in your khaki suits and Gideon boots, wrap yourself in ites, green and gold, and bring out your queens to honor our roots in true cultural style. The energy will be high, the messages uplifting, and the spirit one of togetherness. One people. One sound. One love.
