Creole Heartbeat Launches 25th Anniversary Edition as WCMF25 Kicks Off

A Symbolic Token Capturing the Vision, Legacy & Rhythm of the World Creole Music Festival

Roseau, Dominica — October 24, 2025Creole Heartbeat proudly announces the release of its 25th Anniversary Special Edition Magazine, launched in perfect timing with Night One of the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF25).

This commemorative publication stands as a keepsake to read, reflect, and remember — chronicling the powerful journey of a festival that has shaped Dominica’s cultural identity and united the Creole world for a quarter of a century.

“As we gather for this milestone 25th year, this publication serves as a bridge — connecting where we came from, where we are, and where we are going. It reminds us that the World Creole Music Festival was not just an event, but a vision that celebrated who we are as Creole people,”
Leroy “Wadix” Charles, Creole Ambassador


A Journey from Vision to Legacy

The 25th Anniversary Edition of Creole Heartbeat takes readers through:

  • The early visionaries and founders who imagined a stage for Creole music and identity.
  • The artists and cultural leaders who gave the festival its sound, soul, and spirit.
  • A timeline (1997–2025) that reflects perseverance through storms, global challenges, and rebirth.
  • The diaspora and regional unity — celebrating Creole bonds shared with Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Lucia, Haiti, and beyond.
  • The economic and cultural impact of WCMF as a cornerstone of Dominica’s tourism and creative economy.

Night One: A Celebration of Connection

As WCMF25 opens tonight, Creole Heartbeat invites performers, organizers, and fans to take a moment to understand the deeper rhythm behind the festival — the rhythm that connects us all: Creole.

“Whether you’re performing, working behind the scenes, or enjoying from the stands — take time to know the story behind this celebration. It’s the heartbeat of a people,”
Ambassador Leroy “Prince Wadix” Charles
