Did you know that Dominica is the birthplace for the music genres Cadence-lypso and Bouyon?
On October 28th-30th, the Nature Island will celebrate its musical roots and Creole heritage during the 2011 World Creole Music Festival.
This year’s festival marks the 15th staging of the event and organizers are assembling a star-studded weekend you won’t want to miss!
With the theme “Three Nights of Pulsating Rhythms,” this year’s lineup includes performers from England, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Paris and Dominica.
Now is the perfect time for a tropical getaway that can include: hiking, whale watching, diving, eco-tourism and the music of the islands! It’s not too late. Many of the island’s resorts are offering special rates for the music festival that even include transportation to the festival site.
The complete schedule, performance lineup, ticket information and accommodations are available at www.wcmfdominica.com and www.discoverdominica.com.
