Dominica gained independence from the British on November 3rd in 1978. Dominica’s independence celebrations begin during Creole History Month, October, and climax in the first week of November. It’s is a time when the people celebrate with pride our identity, history, culture, and nationhood. It’s a time of reflection on our relationships, citizenry and humanity. Before Independence, the political leader Edward Oliver Leblanc established the revival of our Dominican cultural celebration in 1967 hence facilitating the way for continuity.
As a writer and musician, my gift to Dominica in celebration of the 41st anniversary celebration is the official recording and release of “Waitukubuli/Dominica” a song/poem that I wrote and performed for the first time publicly in 1993 in my play “Old Time Rhythms”, and occasionally through the years. The release is intended to energize and propagate the reflection by the citizenry, friends and lovers of Dominica will deepen such reflection and celebration.
Waitukubuli is the Kalinago (original indigenous inhabitants) name for the island later named Dominica. who were called Caribs after whom the Caribbean region and sea were named.

In the spirit of our Ancestors, family and nationhood, enjoy, celebrate, share and reflect on and with Waitukubuli/Dominica.

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.
