Dominican artistes will spice up the three nights of pulsating rhythms. The Triple Kay Global Band, as they are popularly known, will display bouyon rhythms in their customary authentic style. The Xtasy Band, hailing from the south of the island, will make their debut on the World Creole Music Festival stage. The legendary Midnight Groovers will provide the unique Dominican ingredient of Cadence-lypso into the line-up recipe. The Midnight Groovers band, who provide that Dominican essence, will be the “Honored Creole Icon” for this year’s festival.
Patrons over the next few weeks can look forward to more artistes being added to the lineup and promotion on tickets for the World Creole Music Festival. The Dwivés will be on once again as part of the fringe events and will feature a number of young upcoming Dominican talents.
