WORLD CREOLE MUSIC FESTIVAL SUNDAY EDITION 2016

The World Creole Music Festival, commonly known as 'Creole Fest' is one of Dominica's, and dare I say, one of the Caribbean's most prize festivals. This festival takes place during the Creole/Independence Season in Dominica and happens on the last weekend of October(Friday, Saturday and Sunday) just after yet another phenomenal event known as Creole in the Park. Creole in the Park(CITP) takes place in Dominica's Botanical Gardens; a wide enough area that can take thousands upon thousands of people. At one pointing time, there was even a census stating that over 100,000 people were at the Botanical Gardens for one of the years that Creole in the Park went on. So this is to show the magnitude of support that these types of events receive. Surely, WCMF is much grander in style and stature and takes place at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium.

Last year, the WCMF had to be cancelled due to the unforeseen disaster of Tropical Storm Erika which, and I kid you not, brought so much rain that it merged all the rivers of Dominica causing serious flooding on the island. Many persons lost their lives, families, properties and will to survive at that time. It was as if mother nature was punishing us for not paying her much attention but we rose up like the Phoenix from the waters and regained strength to continue. This year we are back and stronger than ever to deliver. In this Episode we showcased what took place on the last night of Creole Fest and on that night brought the likes of Breve Music out of Dominica, Akon, all the way from Africa, Gentleman, all the way from Germany, and many others to our shores. There were numerous artists of that night who did a phenomenal job but in this BrBpTV Episode we highlighted a few and this was why. Please have a look at Episode Above.
