“With the 2016 Carnival season being extremely short, rapso trio 3Canal thought “Out of the Box” and have chosen to keep their annual concert series at the Big Black Box on Murray Street in Woodbrook.”

“Grimeee, the carnival show by rapso group 3canal was one of the cultural highlights of 2014”

“BIG BLACK BOX opens with a BANG. ...“The idea behind the Big Black Box is: ‘New space, new time, new possibilities’. It’s always been a dream of ours to have a space that we can operate out of in totality. “The experience of the office, the stage and the studio, the gathering of artists on the regular, and the conjunction of all those energies is a synergy that is unbeatable."”
Janine Charles-Farray - Guardian Newspapers Trinidad & Tobago

“Illuminating the BIG BLACK BOX. ...“Stop living the life you living.” If it sounds trite (“Let me give you some more love, more light…love is infectious, it’s easy to spread’), one only has to remember the Beatles’ anthem, or the basic Buddhist tenet. But there’s far more of the confrontational “punk bois” spirit rather than the laissez-faire hippy style to 3Canal (think The Clash meets Stickman). ...The brief intermission was followed by the Pappyshow Posse’s hysterical skit, featuring Cecilia Salazar as a worse-for-wear political leader and her aggressively sycophantic AG, posturing populist style and batting down errant reporters, as they introduced constitutional amendments.

“3canal is known for their feel-good rapso vibrations, but it was their socially conscious side that came to the fore, when they brought their annual ReThePublic concert to the Queen’s Hall stage on September 24. They came to deal with serious business. The current state of emergency was the topic of the night, and the trio treated it with gravity”
Gillian Moor - Trinidad Guardian Newspaper

“At their fifth anniversary concert, Re:ThePublic, at Queen’s Hall last Saturday (Republic Day), rapso group 3canal set out to raise the consciousness of patrons; and that they did.
