Dominica 2008 Calypso king - Dice Again

Written by Chris in Dominica Carnival No Comments →

Congratulations to Dennison “Dice” Joseph for winning the 2008 Dominica Calypso Monarch last night at the Windsor Park Stadium. From the judges standpoint ‘Dice’ out classed the other nine Calypsonians.

Trivia - Last year Dice failed to become the only person in the history of Dominica to win the calypso crown four successive time because he made serious flaws in his on-stage presentation. This wasn’t the case this year. Dice bounced back stronger than ever and rolled off with the crowd.

Congratulation again to the Dice – Come On, Roll de Dice, Man
