World Creole Music Festival
When: 30 Oct - 1 Nov 2009 (annual – Held the last Friday – Sunday of October)
Where: Roseau
The annual World Creole Music Festival in Rouseau brings together musicians, singers and bands from all over the Caribbean. Get into the groove with the unique rhythms of zouk, zydeco, cadence, compas and soukous.
Dominica's culture and language is strongly tinged by the French creole influences that emanate from its neighbours, which is reflected in the music. Though other island rhythms such as calypso and reggae are popular, zouk and zydeco - spicy, fast-paced, French Creole music - are preferred.
Zouk and zydeco, along with soukous, a modern Zairean dance music, salsa, cadence and compas from Haiti, are all featured during the event, with performers from Cuba, Africa, Haiti and Dominica, among others.

The term Creole and its cognates in other languages — such as crioulo, criollo, créole, kriolu, criol, kreyol, kriulo, kriol, krio, kreol, etc. — have been applied to people in different countries and epochs, with different meanings.
Those terms are always used in the general area of present or former colonies in other continents, and originally referred to locally-born people with foreign ancestry. Creoles are known as a people mixed French, African, Spanish, Caribbean, Acadians (Nova Scotia, Cajuns), South American, Native American ancestry and on a smaller degree to include Chinese, Russian, German, Italian, Asian Islands, and Australian.
