It is events like these that make culture even the more exciting than what it is already is. Creole in the Park is part of the Creole Season festival activities, which have been organized by LIME previously known as Cable and Wireless. For those who may not know of such a simple yet one of the greatest events to be held in the Caribbean, it is held in the one and only Nature Isle of the Caribbean called Dominica during the Creole Season. It is a full 4 day event that is held at the Botanical Gardens, in Roseau, where a full swing of Creole displays of meals, clothing, music and the creole language is spoken. In the afternoon at around 3:00-4:00pm, there is the celebration of music brought about by both the local and foreign artists, who then end the event at around 7:00pm. It is a time of celebration and fun where both family and friends get to share the joys of the festival season. Thousands upon ten thousands of people came from all over the world to the Nature Isle to share in the experience of this event that is deemed to be one of the biggest shows/events that is held within the entire Caribbean. The last two days were highlighted with Kes the Band from Trinidad (at the bottom) on Wednesday and Bounty Killer from Jamaica on Thursday. In the first segment, Bounty went on stage and put on a great show for the people, as most sang along with him and danced as they related to his lyrics and dynamic flow. He brought that reggae-dancehall feel to the stage and as the episode will show that he was also a favorite for the crowd gathered. Bounty gave the people what they wanted and brought down the curtains on the final day of Creole in the Park 2011 concert with energy, fun and life, leaving yet, with hundreds of more fans.
It is clear to see that Kes the Band rocked out the crowd with his soca and mixed-pop contemporary music, as they shared their music in celebration with the Dominican people. Obviously, the lead singer was one of the ladies favorite and he to also put on a good show for them as well as everyone gathered that night. His music style of Soca originated from his homeland, Trinidad, and the Dominicans knew it all too well. One of the main songs that took flight was Wotless. Everybody was Wotless in fun that night as the jam came into play and a live performance was given. They say if it nice, play it twice. Well, it was so nice, they did it thrice. Take a listen to what went down on the Wednesday 26th of October at the Botanical gardens.
Dominicans, Australians, English, French, the entire Caribbean and persons from all over the whole world were there that night as the amount of people in the park grew to one hundred thousand strong on the last day. Quite a phenomenal experience and time of fun for all those who were at Creole in the Park 2011 concert.
