DOMINICA JUNIOR MONARCH CALYPSO 2020 COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

Dominica Junior Monarch Calypso Competition of 2020 kicked off last night in dynamic fashion and I must say that I was quite impressed! Especially with the lyrical content and the executions of it by the youth. It only goes to show how much talent that we have in our youth and I believe we, as a country, should DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! The powerful messages brought on that stage last night not only spoke and still speaks to our present situation, but it gives an insight as to what the youth is thinking about themselves and their environment and I think it's high time that our leaders give a listening ear and take action. It is their future that is being played with here. One of the lyrics that resonated with me was that of the young calypsonian, De Essence, who sang the song, 'Bring Back JSP'. It made me ponder on the state of our education. I don't think we as a people have come to terms that sometimes we are pushing our youth into a schooling system that does not cater to their needs. And by that I mean not everyone is academically incline or wants to choose the path of academics but that's all we are giving them in our education system. We do definitely need to bring back JSP so that others can have the opportunity to learn skills that they most likely will find interest in. I remember just after Hurricane Maria, the government was looking for carpenters and artisans, and had to send for and bring in foreigners because there was a shortage of skilled workers or certain skill set were not available on island, to help in the recovery efforts. This is why this songs like these need to be amplified and steps should be taken to bring back this program. There are countless other powerful messages brought about by our young junior calypsonians of Dominica last night so do have a listen to te BrBpTV highlights of the Dominica Junior Monarch Calypso Competition at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium in Roseau, Dominica. Enjoy!

DOMINICA RDPS VS SMP FOOTBALL 2018 FINALS

There are a number of things that we know here in the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, Dominica, and that is for which talent rains and reign supreme! Not only here in Dominica, but across the Caribbean. The uniqueness that we contribute to the world by far, outweighs unilateral thought. However, Dominica is the key focus today so Dominica it is! Dominica is one of the small Caribbean Islands which harnesses very little resources by which it enables its talent to be utilized. In other words, skillset is under utilized in my country! :'( Take for example the Dominican bikers who left to go to St Lucia and won most of their drag races defying the odds. Dominica doesn't have a strip where bikers can practice or anything of that sort yet still, within its odds(including Hurricane Maria's destruction on the island), Dominica still showed up and showed out! This brings us to yet another talent found here, today, this one found in the smallest of youths.
For as long as I have lived, I have seen and heard of great players playing the game of football. Whether it be on the international, regional and local stages. I have always dreamt of seeing Dominica rise to the occasion by which it is able to reckon with the international star countries but no matter how we try, it never seems to happen which brings us to the youth! THERE IS HOPE HALLELUJAH and they are found in our Primary Schools on island! These primary school boys playing here today are vying for the title of Champions for 2018 at the Dominica Primary School Football Finals and, dare I say, these guys are freaking good! Some have even compared their skillset to be far better than some of the older ones on island. Kudos goes out the the coaches for their dedicated effort in ensuring that the local youth may just have a fighting chance on the international stage. I saw The local Portsmouth RDPS School boys at practice at the Benjamin Park.... so you know I was eager to be at the Finals to see them play against the other team. Roosevelt Douglas Primary School (better known as RDPS) versus the St. Mary's Primary School (better known as SMP) were sure to put on a show for those in attendance at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium and now we are happy to bring to you some of the highlights that took place! Enjoy!

Dominica SERNEL performs his 2017 HIT ATTENTION

God is good, all the time and All the time, God is still Good. Amen and Amen to that but let me draw your attention to something. If God is good to you and me... shouldn't we give me all the glory and praise that is due unto him? Why yes... I do believe it should be so... unless I am wrong and you know this to be untrue, then please do let me know. But I believe where God has given us life and breathe it is our responsibility to do so. And this is why I believe Sernel has brought us here today. Bringing to our attention what needs to be brought and that is the truth. Sernel speaks so in his new release song; and you guessed it, 'Attention'. This is the very first time he is going to perform this song and we at BrBpTV were there to ensure that justice was given to his performance.

Sernel not only fused contemporary art in music but speaks the truth that has been told from centuries ago in his music. Talk about bridging the old with the new right? But this still doesn't change the message that what's true is still true. God lives, he reigns and its time for us to take heed to what Sernel has to say in his new fire song called 'Attention'.

Dominica Youth Against Crime and Violence

One thing that must be made known of is the fact that the youth are trying their best to improve and prove their worth and that is something that must be capitalized upon. The youth are our future and what happens now determines what the future will look like. There should be no greater joy when we see others coming up to find solutions for the short comings that take place in our societies. Crime, Violence and Bullying are some of the many societal ills, especially within our schools, and it is imperative that we learn to nip these problems in the butt before they get out of hand. What better way is there than to help solve these problems but with the youth themselves who take on the initiatives to come up with scenarios and plays whereby these problems can now have a face. Led by Ms Valerie Honore, a movement for the empowerment of youth against crime and violence was created and conducted. Different schools from around the Nature Isle were brought in to focus on what needs to be done to prevent and deter future problems of crime amongst their peers.

Ms. Honore is the founder of Dominica's Youth Volunteer Network and she and her crew conducted this successful conference which went on for a number of days. This was one of the days we were able to take part in and from our viewpoint, we can say that there is great hope for the youth. Have a look at some of what took place at the conference in Roseau and if possible do share so others themselves can see and make the necessary adjustments for a brighter future.

MISS DOMINICA NATIONAL QUEEN SHOW PAGEANT 2017

Miss Dominica National Queen Show Pageant 2017 took place in Carnival City for the Carnival Season and for those of you who don't know this is at the Pottersville Savannah grounds near Roseau, Dominica. Surely, this is one of Dominica's most prestigious and rewarding shows where a number of wonderful, talented and full of energy women come to show why they have what it takes to take the Caribbean by storm. Why do I say this? Well... other than the fact that the winner of the competition now has the potential to vy for the Miss Universe title like Miss Leslassa Amour-Shillingford did and/or to compete against other phenomenally talented Caribbean women, I'd have to say that the stakes are very, very high. This year 7 talented Dominica women were ready for the challenge and will put nothing but their best foot, shoes, clothes, style and talent on the line to bag that coveted title of Miss Dominica 2017. So you know this competition will have you on your toes and dare I say Twinky toes if you cannot handle the firece competition amongst these women. TO me everyone is a winner.

The ladies vying for Miss Dominica 2017 are Karla Henry from Mahaut; Zethra Baron from Fond St. Jean; Gabriel Abraham from Upper Goodwill; Terisa Lewis from Bath Estate; Ketisha Joseph from Massacre; Esther Francis from Goodwill and Jade Romain from Gutter Village. The Former Queen and reigning Miss Dominica 2016 is Tasia Floissac. She will then hand the winner of this competition the crown and the new Miss Dominica 2017 will be Queen. Do enjoy the Episode above!

DEVINE PLANS ON GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP ON BrBpTV Interview

Have you ever felt like doing much more than you are doing but don't know how or what to do? Well, this isn't an informercial, so we don't "got all the answers" unfortunately. :'( But what we do know is that with the first step, there is progress and the only thing left to do is to take yet another step forward. This has been the mark of every successful person who has chosen to utilize their own abilities despite of. Leonardo da Vinci took that first step and painted the Mona Lisa... no he didn't! He first had to draw sticks men before he got to create The Mona Lisa and this is why we are here today. To talk about paintings? No... but to speak MUSIC! SideNote - I probably should have made reference to a musical artist rather than a legendary painter right? I agree :) But you get the point.
Devine Songs is the artist name, the reggae artist out of Dominica, who fills every lyrical content and rhythm with nothing but love and a conscious vibe.

NEW 2016 MOBILE APP INTERVIEW WITH LINK UP DOMINICA on BrBpTV Interview

In a world filled with technological advancements, it is only fitting that the Caribbean follow suit in this fashion. Although many may classify the wonderful Caribbean Islands as Third World nations, but no mistake must be made because of this label due to the fact that there are many Caribbean individuals who are not only keeping up with the technological times but are also contributors, innovators and inventors themselves. Yes! Indeed and they can compete in the international arena with other innovators and inventors as well.
Today, BrBpTV is here with none other than the Link Up crew out of Dominica! They go by the names of Irus Toussaint and Daniel Pond. These app developers created an app that would let patrons know what's taking place around the island. As they put it sometimes we are unsure as to what's going on around us but with this app, we get to know where, when and at what time an event is taking place and it also interacts with you so as to let you, the app holder, know what's the hottest spot to go to or the most relaxing spot when multiple events are going on at the same time. BrBpTV interviews these app developers success story thus far and what's next on the Link Up Dominica agenda. The innovative app was meant to bring people together and can be used on any platform: Android, IPhone, Windows phones, blackberry and much more. This has got to be the best app for smart phone holders here in Dominica and soon to possibly expand on a worldwide platform.

MADEA, MA BUTTACUP PLANS TO TAKE YOU ON @BrBpTV Interview

For the persons who know of Dominica and the endless potential to which it offers, we must all come to the conclusion that Dominica is filled with an overabundance of great talent. Why do I say this? Well.. it's simple really. Because it's a fact and we will prove it to you yet again today. It is as if this little island known as the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, births in as much as a 1:1 ration of talent. The Individuals who are born here are birthed to leave an impact either in their environment and/or the world by extension. Talent ranging from music, to the arts, in the theatrics of plays to modeling of fashion, the list goes on. In this great exhibition of skill and talent, we definitely need an outlet and I think you must agree with me when I say, "What good is talent if you don't have an outlet to showcase it in" right? This is where we come to an abrupt halt. Outlets are hard to find, to be honest, but we must be thankful for the opportunity that social media has given to us all. And for those who are passionate enough to keep going, we find some relief in social media.
Today, BrBpTV interviews a young man by the name of Jahmal, from the community of Portsmouth, Dominica who has indeed found refuge in the social media platforms of Facebook and Youtube. Jingle Jam ENT., as his entertainment platform is termed, brings to the thousands of fans he has managed to attract comedic skits that they deem very relatable. Jahmal plays various characters on his comedic skits and one famous character that is probably a house hold name by now is Jingle Jam's(another character) Grandmother known as Ma Buttacup. Like that of Madea, Jahmal promises that Ma Buttacup is planning to take on Tyler Perry's Madea in the not to distant future. Hopefully, both Ma Buttacup and Madea will be able to do a collaboration together. The possibility of that happening might change the course of the comedic world as we know it! Check out the BrBpTV Interview below.

Supermodel Carlyn Valmond | BrBpTV Interview

I often times ask myself what does it take to become a model? Surely I know a few things that is a necessity in obtaining this status. One, you need to be good looking! Surely, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and therefore this has many a choice in favoritism especially when it comes to those who hold the power in the ability to turn you into a working art as a true model. And by this we know there must be a platform to begin with. :) I could be wrong.... Nah, you ought to have a platform and cuteness. Not only does this count but the fact that there has to be some form of uniqueness in beauty to capture the eye of the viewers. So for all those who might say, "Well, everyone is beautiful"... I have to agree but the beauty has to have a unique captivating -ness(Yes... I just made up a nice word :) ) to put you over the edge and above the others.


Another thing I know based on seeing supermodels working it on the big stage is that, they ought to be tall. Models, from what I have gathered tend to be 5feet 8 inches tall for the least. Why? I have no idea whatsoever but that seems to be the criteria. So what does this say for "models" who do not fit this criteria? Well... I got news for y'all, not everyone who meets these requirements are cut out for that task because in this competition, there seems to be something much more deeper than just being tall and cute. IN fact, it only requires one in this particular case. This model is known as Carlyn Valmond from Dominica and she is 5 feet 2 inches tall and from the looks of it, it looks like she will be the winner of this competition.
Yes, this is another year where women from across the Caribbean Island of Dominica come together to compete for Dominica's Next Supermodel competition and only the best of the best will take that title. Here today we have one of the contestants and she is going to give us an insight of who she is and what this competition, in her own words, means to her. BTW Guys she won but this is the interview a week before the final competition. Such a wonderful individual and she has every right, pose, personality and confidence to have won it. :)

Marijuana Legalization | Agrosuede on BrBpTV Interview

Where do we get off not knowing what we have and thinking we know exactly what we should do... by not utilizing what we should? Hmm... I'm sure that you are probably thinking... WHAT the What? Right? Yes, I said it! ;) We are doing things that we shouldn't do simply because we do not know what is in our environment... even though we see them on a day to day basis. And in this regard, I am speaking to my fellow Caribbean Family more specifically to my fellow Dominican people. Not too long ago, I heard a few folks talking about the healing of the nation and why it should be decriminalized. And although I do agree but there are a lot more 'Healings of the Nations' that we don't utilize. Oh.. hehe you thought there was only one healing of the nation? Think Again. Take for instance the Moringa Plant which contains vast amounts of properties that can literally change the course of your very lives to an even healthier life... yet persons don't know about it. This is why we are hear today.


We, here in the Caribbean, should be blessed and grateful for what Jah himself has touched our soils with. The ability to bring forth an abundance of fruits and provisions. Yet we tend to gravitate to meals like KFC, McDonalds and other junk foods. The huge apetite for these meals has caused us to lose sight as to what is important and how we can prevent illnesses like cancers and diabetes from becoming rampant in society. Okay... I get it. You may say that the junk food is cheaper to buy and faster to gobble down. I agree. It also tastes much better to that taste buds but we must become responsible enough to balance out what we eat and having a backyard garden can solve these problems for us. With a little effort and consistency a lot of the health problems that we face today could be solved by Backyard Gardening. Here on BrBpTV Interview, we have an individual who has demonstrated boldly to the masses in Dominica, across the Caribbean and to the rest of the world that this is pretty much the best thing you can do in concern to healthy eating and knowing which foods can cure and prevent certain infections and diseases from taking place. Agrosuede Backyard Garden teaches you and I how to start and maintain it in the simple ways possible and I think if we all take heed, we will have a healthier society and also a more productive lifestyle. Have a listen to what we has to say with us today.

International Model Nicole Morson | BrBpTV Interview

I don't think you guys will fully understand what you are about to witness with the individual here in question. I asked the question on my Facebook Page yesterday, "How does one move from selling DVDs and Popcorn along the roadsides of Dominica to becoming an International Model?" And by that I mean a model who has modeled for some of the biggest Celebrity Designers in the Fashion Business. These guys have designed fashion wear for the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna(those she has worked with) among countless others. Not only that but having the opportunity to hang out with the movers and shakers of the fashion industry as well as hanging with A Class and B Class Celebrities. To top it all of she has modeled in Spain, in Italy, in Paris, in the Caribbean, and in the United States thus far. I mean come on... it doesn't get better than this. I am more than 100% sure that most of you guys reading this, would love to be in that very position. I know I do... ;).


Considering she grew up in the Caribbean Island of Dominica, all she had was a dream and a passion that she fostered the strength to finally try out and look at what she has done and where she has been in a short space of time. I think that is probably one of the biggest moves one can ever make when it comes to a career path that is not of the norm. Not only is it not the norm but in a place where the path she chose isn't something that was taken seriously where she grew up.
Folks it takes guts and motivation to pull off what she is doing presently and this serves as a further reminder to everyone of you out there. If you have a passion to do something, seek God first for guidance, take a step forward and try something. You never know how far a simple try can do. The individuals who are the front runners of today's world started simply by trying something. Of course, there will be No's... in fact... there will be a lot of No's but there will always be that one Yes that will change everything. This is Nicole Morson, born in St. Maarteen but raised in Dominica, the International Model from the Caribbean. This is her story.

Trinidadian Jay Square | BrBpTV Interview

Folks.. let me ask you an honest question. What is the perimeter of choice when it comes to doing what you are told versus doing what needs to be done? Does anyone know the answer to this? Well... as clear as the interview is below, my answer goes a little something like this. There can be a great difference. Many of us are called to do something and many of us are called to trend paths so that others can do something. I think in this regard, it goes hand in hand. However, in this day and age that we live many persons simply do what they are told and some don't even question why. Is it because it is easier or that we feel the art of laziness in full effect? The underlining factor here is that we do what needs to be done and do it well regardless of who, what and which circumstance and circumstances that may present itself. Obviously, it's easier said than done right? Initially... but as time progresses, doing becomes easier when words are put into consistent actions. This is what brings us here today and like Dee-1, the hip-hop artist states so truthfully, 'It's time to do a little more walking and less talking'. Unfortunately not everyone thinks so and I believe that sometimes some people need a little encouragement. Surely this is what we, BrBpTV, is here for.


The individual in question is none other than the one and the only Jay Square out of Trinidad and Tobago, who has been at it for 15 years and shows no sign of slowing down. In fact... he has just elevated yet again with a Caribbean tour and album to trend paths, and of course, trend highways too. Hehe Just thought I'd throw that in there! Starting out in Dominica, he met with us at the BrBpTV studios and blessed us with some profound words that, dear I Mystelics say, will cause us to think a little more positively and aid in the progression of sound purpose. For many of us who have made it to 2015, it is the mark of purpose that binds us to excel even further in life and Jay Square out of the Soca Capital of the world gives us this interview. Have a listen!

RECAP of 2014: BrBpTV Compilation

OH MY GOODNESS! 2014 has come and gone like Usain Bolt breaking yet another record at the Olympics meet in stunting-ly quick fashion! Okay, I must admit, it did take about 365 and a quarter days to complete but let's face it, at one pointing time, we were just celebrating New Year's 2014 no? Yes we were! and as my mother would say, "Just the other day". Now we are coming to the close of that same year in what seemed only to be the twinkling of an eye(kind of reminds you of the rapture doesn't it? ;)). I spoke to a neighborhood friend of BrBpTV yesterday, and she said, "Soon enough we will be celebrating New Year's for 2016". Time truly does not wait, no matter how much we may try to slow it down it just does not want to wait. Talk about impatience right? hehe. I'm kidding. The year goes by and bye each time we take a breath and this is why we ought not to waste time frontin' the little stuff. Make moves of make excuses. Sometimes, I say that I am dreaming... please tell me I am dreaming! Considering that trend of thought, we may dream dreams but let's make sure we dream them into reality by allowing our actions to follow suit. Because one thing that the time passing of 2014 has taught us is that talking is just that... talking.
Surely, 2014 has been unknown like any other in Dominica and Dominicans as well as all those who partook in what she(Waiti Kubuli) had to offer knows for certain that 2014 has brought about an unforgettable time. We, at BrBpTV, pride ourselves in the promotion of positive vibrations so we tried our best to cover as much events as we could that fosters what we are about. For this cause we are looking back at 2014 and "vibezing" on some of the greatest activities that took place that year. We had a lot to look through but in the creation of this Episode Compilation we managed to bring you FIVE categories that stood out this year which made 2014 so memorable. We do hope that you guys fall in love with this Episode as we did. Have a HAPPY and Prosperous 2015 and remember, by God, to make 2015 count.

A night of Dancing - Mechowlah

Mechowlah? First time I, myself, am hearing of or seeing such a fantastic-looking, first-time-trying-tongue-twisting word, but one thing is certain, I want to know what that is. In the video below you will get the full gist of it but for those who like to read, I want you to know my take on that name. The first time I heard it, I was taken aback and asked, is this patois? Well... no it's not. Is it french? Nope. Sorry to disappoint. Now it is times like these where google becomes your best friend. Mechowlah *mehk-o-law* as it is pronounced, is a Hebrew word that by itself means to dance with someone. Yet within the context of tonights Mechowlah celebration, the meaning is justly justified out of the Hebrew and/or Greek meaning or songs of praise through a dance or dances. This pretty much sums it up.
There was also a test given in my quest for this Hebrew knowledge and I took the test which I realized I am no Hebrew Scholar with the test scores to prove it. ;)
Anywho, without a further-a-do, this event was headlined by the group called S.A.L.T who featured the phenomenal dance contributions of Ebony Charles, the Shakah Dancers, Charisma, Vessels of Praise, Christa Charles, Rick Francis and the Paix Bouche dance group alongside many others. The Dominican dance groups from around the island came to the Trinity Baptist Church in Roseau to pull off the Mechowlah dance night and believe me when I say, they did a stunning job all throughout. Have a listen to the great talent that Dominican possess to the honor and glory of the Most High. MECHOWLAH!!! Oh how I love this word. hehe.

Dominica National Youth Awards @BrBpTV

Let us take some time to understand that in the midst of a perfect storm there is still hope. The youths here today, I must say have pretty much defied all odds and have emerged amongst the best of the best to which have been nominated for Dominica's National Youth Awards. I am not sure how you guys feel about this but we, at BrBpTV.com, feel absolutely blessed to have been apart of the ceremony. The powerful talents of the youth were not only applauded but it was also promoted and highlighted at the Award Ceremony.


The Youth Awards was held at the newly designed auditorium at the Dominica State College and in dynamic fashion, the first event of this being held was a true success. Make no bones about it that Youth awards do take place on a National level but the National Youth Council of Dominica saw it fit to take it even a step further were more talented individuals were granted awards in a wider variety of skills. There were just about 60 nominees for this years awards and they came from many different walks of life from all over the Nature Isle of the Caribbean. This is something that is indeed a great step forward in the positive direction especially when we see mainstream news most broadcasting negativism. It's time for a continuous growth in the country where we highlight and further push our youths in doing better, more productive things. With the individuals and nominees present it is indeed great progression as all the seats were packed waiting to see who will win in the respective categories.

Q Talent Search - Round One

QTS TALENT SEARCH! The Fourth Edition of this event taking place! I am sure that most of you guys have heard of talent search programs like American Idol, X-factor, Britain's Got Talent or to bring it even closer home, Digicel's Rising Star, where persons from different walks of life go head to head in competitive mood to see who will emerge the victor who takes home the grand prize. It is programs like these that help, make or break individuals as it shuffles out the weaker ones while the best rises to the top. The same thing applies to the competition that the Q-95 Radio Station in partnership with LIME, has to offer in Dominica. Yes, a small island in the Caribbean, between two french islands has taken it upon itself to help find some of the wonderful talent that Dominica has to offer. The Q-Talent Search 2013 is the fourth one of its kind taking place and this is the finale.


The event started somewhere around March of 2013, where individuals would call into the radio station and sing a rendition and get judged on it. Later down, those who made it pass the call-in section would then go to an audition where they would sing in front of some judges while the persons listening over the radio had to vote on whole they thought the best persons were, or simply their favorite via texting. After there would be the semi-finals and then the finals. BrBpTV today is bringing to you the Finals competition! Yes! the grand finale of the competition which took almost 7 months to come to its final conclusion. The winner, or should I say the best of the best or the winner of all these winners will be selected and the bragging rights with everything else it comes with will be taken. The first person to ever win a competition of this sought goes by the name of Asher Thomas from Paix Bouche in 2010. Then we had Shamica Sorhaindo of Roseau in 2011 and the present champ Rachel Jno Baptiste of Goodwill in 2012. Who will be the Q-Talent Search Champion of 2013? Find out as we bring to you Round One of the QTS Final 2013 Competition.

Graduation Ceremony - Sunflower Pre-School/ Kindergarten

To many people, including myself, graduation may seem to be just another day where persons dress up in gowns, or in dresses as I term it to be, to pick up pieces of paper then get on in their lives in the up and coming days. Very True indeed! However, although this approach may indeed hold some weight, when individuals graduate, this process signifies way more than that. Graduation is an attainment of the necessary qualities and skills needed to move on and upward to another level in life. What do I mean by that? Considering the hard work, teaching and the level of training that took place, enabling the mind to release its chakras to better cope with life and what it has to offer is but the foundation of life in itself. To each level attained, to each goal reached and to each obstacle covered and overcome, meeting the requirements for graduation means that one has completed the course and is now qualified to move on to the next level.
Here today, we have the graduation ceremony of the little ones. Yes, the little ones are also part of the growing economy who will be contributing vastly to the changing and modernizing society. Therefore, they too ought to be taught how to handle the next level in their lives. Seeing the parents watch their children on stage singing the national anthem, acting, singing and even telling wonderful stories and laughable jokes would make any parent or guardian greatly honored and proud.
It means that they are on the right track and growing into these powerhouses of the near future thus continuing the legacy of progress and development of our country. These individuals that you are seeing here are our future. We are looking at the future right now. :)
Taking place in Portsmouth, Dominica, BrBpTV brings to you the Sunflower Pre-School/ Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony of 2013.

Miss Dominica Queen Show Pageant

Out of all the beautiful women that Dominica has birthed, we must come to the abrupt conclusion that we have MOST of the finest women that can be located across the Caribbean Region. However don't be fooled by beauty, while the unforgiving stigma on beauty states that beauty does not come with brains. Ah but au contraire mes amis to popular belief, what you are about to see is indeed beauty, brains and most assuredly, phenomenal talent at its best! Yes, believe me when I say, Dominica has the full package and we, Dominicans, pride ourselves in our outstanding beauty as the Nature Isle of the Caribbean; Not only in our curvaceousness in body 'Waiti Kubuli' but in our people's uniqueness as well.
Seven beautiful... no... seven phenomenally talented, Nature Isle goddesses take to the stage as they compete against each other vying for the title of Miss Dominica 2013! It is indeed another Carnival Season and, of course, there is much need for the rebirth of this competition. Who will take this title? Only God knows for the new year has brought a new crop of beauty from the emergence of last year with the reigning Carnival Queen, Nadira Lando who conquered the 2012 stage in the Miss Dominica and Miss Caribbean World, whilst also taking the crown as Miss Jaycees in Antigua! Previously, Miss Marcia Baptiste (2010) as well as Miss Marah Walters (2008) and Nakita Bruno (2006) also took the crown in their respective years as Miss Dominica and also in the Miss Caribbean World Competition! All of which are born and bred in none other than the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, Dominica. I told you that Dominica has the full package. ;)
I can only imagine what these wonderful ladies must have gone through to bring sure power and dynamics to their stage performances. It takes guts to do what these ladies have done and I must say I am proud of all of them. To me, everyone is a winner but unfortunately, only one can wear the crown. There is so much more that I want to utter but as in the words of the greats gone, "but the show... must go on." Feast and fasten your eyes upon the clip below.

Echoes Dance Group BrBpTV Interview

From the very moment BrBpTV laid eyes on these profound group called, 'Echoes', as they performed, we realized that there was something different about these youth. Coming aside from the normal trend of the musical art forms which is singing, rapping and playing instruments, they chose the art form of dance or should it be said that the art form choose them because it definitely looks so. According to their story I think you can agree with that statement, 'dance choose them'. We often times know that certain things come our way and opens up a can of wonders that we never really knew we had or expected. This is something of what this group seems to possess. The uniqueness in their dancing styles and/or choreography comes from each individuals' unique ability; coming together to strengthen each other and thus becoming better and better, in their ministry, every time you lay your eyes on them. This dancing group comes from the North of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Portsmouth and they have branched out into one of the best Choreography/Dance groups that we have seen in the land. After having performed in numerous places dancing, they have indeed left their marks wherever they have been danced upon. Not only that, but the fact their marks are being set, sets the trend for other dance groups and youth across Dominica and also, in the various Caribbean countries that they have performed in. This says a magnitude of words that are in no way, shape or form subjected to simplicity.


BrBpTV, got the opportunity to have an interview with The Echoes and this is how it went. Keep in mind that these individuals are still around their teenage years and they have already started making a profound mark in the Caribbean. Only the future will tell how far these people in their youth will reach in their dance ministry and with God as their leader, EVERYTHING is possible! These youth of today got talent! They got some serious talent these days. My question to you after you watch this episode is, "Got Talent?" What is it?
