The Trinidad and Tobago Promoters Association (TTPA) has distanced itself from the organisers of the controversial One Caribbean Music Festival and is now calling for sweeping legislative reform in the entertainment and tourism sectors, labelling the current moment “pivotal”.
In a statement issued Monday, the association expressed deep concern over the fallout from the event, which featured Vybz Kartel and other major acts but has drawn widespread criticism from patrons and stakeholders. The TTPA stressed that the event’s producer is not a member of the association.
“To be clear – we do not speak for the group nor do we speak on behalf of the group,” the TTPA said. “However, we want to say – at all times, it is our hope that events held on our shores are executed successfully. When that does not happen, it impacts the whole industry.”
