The heart of ONE's mission is to help support existing and upcoming artists, as we partner together to promote sexual health in creative ways. That's why our team at ONE® partnered with Salli Squitieri for the Safer Sex Campaign effort as part of the Caribbean Nights Series, which has been integrated into performing artists tours, fitness programs and theaters.
Salli Squitieri is the founder of The Caribbean Nights Series and she represents an array of Caribbean Artists with artist development, bookings, management and promotions she has been involved in in various capacities within the music industry for 45 years.
The Caribbean Nights Series proudly presents both up and coming and renowned artists.
As part of Salli’s Music Series held at the Kraine Theater in NYC, she has founded and implemented a Caribbean Nights Segment as a means to create a new forum enabling Caribbean (and neighboring) voices and music to be heard. Not only are the artists presented, but the series also celebrates the richness and beauty of each artist’s culture. The Caribbean Night Series is a multimedia event that includes a video/slide presentation of the artist’s homeland, sometimes a supporting performer, and an interview with the artists, full performance, and free door prize drawings and after the show, Meet and Greet with artists. The events are in an intimate up close and personal theater setting.
Caribbean Nights Series Brings Safer Sex Education Through Music
POSTED BY ONE CONDOMS ON NOVEMBER 15, 2018
ONE® is proud to support and partner with artists of all kinds to inspire sexual health advocacy. The Caribbean Nights Series is an incredible forum and multimedia event enabling Caribbean Voices and Music to be heard. The Series has brought in talent who stormed the stage and shook the house from Trinidad, Grenada, St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), Barbados, Montserrat, Haiti, Belize, Honduras, and more. Each artist also promotes sexual health through condom distribution at the events!
As part of the Series, each show includes a video presentation of the featured artist's homeland, special announcements, an interview with the artist, performances, after show Free Door Prize drawings, and a meet and greet.
The most recent event was held October 12th, 2018, with the Caribbean Nights Series presenting a unique and eclectic evening of Reggae, Jazz, R&B, Rap and Dance. It was a non-stop night of smokin' hot performances with artists including Lady Loe, Let's Get it Entertainment, Lori Nebo and DJ Nukid. Repeat performers have included, but are not limited to, the founding artists MaddZart (SVG) and Wayne Commissiong (SVG), followed by Hymm Legendary (SVG), Panchan (Honduras), Smax Music (Haiti), Alex Colon (Belize), Owusu Slater (SVG), James Lovell (SVG), Grey Man (Trinidad), Autarchii (Jamaica) and so many more.
Bringing together the artists is Salli Squitieri's Productions, which also incorporated a "Safe Sex Campaign” as part of the Series. The campaign focused on a message of ”Have Fun, Be Safe Be, Protected," a message our team at ONE was excited to partner with. Each show is infused with fun and unique ways to distribute ONE products via skits, comedy, stage gatherings of artists, photo shoots, prizes and 'toss outs' to audience.
We love seeing this creative vision bring safer sex education and messaging through music. Thank you to all the amazing artists and for Salli for creating this incredible campaign!
