The National Cultural Council in collaboration with the Cultural Division and Ministry of Sports Culture and Community Development are hosting the golden drum award Ceremony.
It will be held virtually on Saturday August 6th at 8 p.m.
Eight (8) individuals and groups will receive the highest cultural award in Dominica, the golden drum. They are Vincent Cyril “Elf” Henderson, Delia Cuffy-Weekes, Atherton Martin, Stardom Calypso Tent, Vanessa Lissa Winston, Christopher Jefferson Warrington, Cecil “Checker” Burnette and TK International.
Special recognition Awards will also be given to Ibrahim Brohim, Juanita Jules, Chad Zamore and Ronnie Magloire.
“We believe in giving flowers, while people are alive but it doesn’t mean that we forget them as soon as they’re gone. So we will also be giving posthumous Awards in honor of the contributions of the late Jacinta David as well as Earl Etienne,” Chief cultural officer, Earl Matthew stated in a press statement.
There will also be some very interesting guest performances as we re-enter the live in-person world of show production and try to maintain the level that we set for virtually.
“I want to urge the general public to listen and view, live on various media platforms,” he said.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
