LIME Dominica has once again presented its Creole Lifetime Award to two deserving citizens of Dominica.
Lawrence Brumant and Fitzroy Williams both received their awards at the 2013 opening ceremony of the 11th annual Lime Creole in the Park on Tuesday.
President Charles Savarin conferred the award on both individuals.
Brumant was described by Cultural Officer Pearl Christian as the “King of Conte.”
“Mr Brumant has an unflagging resolve committed himself to perpetuating the tradition of conte, creole story creation and performance. Born in the village of Vielle Case Mr Brumant was inspired by a brilliant story teller Patrice Eloi. He relocated to Paix Bouche and it was there that he developed his chosen art form,” she said.
Brumant is known for writing and documenting the story “How Dominica got its Name.”
Williams has been playing the keyboard from close to half a century.
“Fitzroy Williams has been playing the keyboard for over 45 years. He began his musical journey as a xylophone player for the Silver Toad a top band of the 60’s. Fitzroy’s choice of a musical career took root when he joined the very popular band “the Boys and Them” as a keyboard player,” Christian said.
In August 2013, Williams released a cadence CD along calypso King Dennison “Dice” Joseph.
LIME also presented a Special Employee recognition award to the company’s Credit Control Manager Phillipson Bertrand.

Do I have a friend out there who could help me understand the “FULL” duty of the president? (savrin)
His Excellency Honorable Charles Savarin!
Anyone who resides or moves to Paix-Bouche must develop the love for Culture and Arts! Congrats Mr. Brumant!!! Well done!!
Why didn`t Prevost boycott this event as the President was present? and even more involved than at the youth raly. So the UWP don`t want to mess up the vibes for big sponsor LIME but its ok to mess up the opportunity for the children to receive their awards and be part of the Independence celebration. This lack of consistency proves the maliciousness of the opposition. Magway sa!
Which one is receiving the award? the one in the suit?
Go Charlo!!!
Congratulation Daddy, well deserved. I am soooooo proud of you, I miss you and love you. Yes I can remember all the stories, and time and time again I listen every time just to hear your voice and our voice in the background. Love you Dad.
How sad that such an honourable event, the awarding of two men who have spent the best years of their lives contributing to Dominica’s culture, have to be given their ward by a man whose election to the Presidency is not in keeping with the procedures stated in the Constitution and who is a rabid partisan and defender of Skerrit and the DLP. A rabid political partisan.
I thought ignorance was out of style. Get a life!!
For the past 3 weeks I keep hearing about “violation of the Constitution”, that the election of the current President H.E. Charles A Savarin was “unconstitutional”…but for these past 3 weeks, I have yet to see any section of the Constitution quoted in support of the argument that the election was a violation or a disregard of the said provision. I have taken the trouble to read Section 19 of the Constitution which speaks about the election of the President, as well as Section 35 which gives the conditions for the resignation of members of Parliament. In neither case have I seen anything which would support the argument that the election of Charles Savarin as President is either unconstitutional or illegal. If you have reliable information to the contrary please enlighten me and Dominica.
@ not a herd follower, what is so sad is the fact that , Mr. Norris Prevost (UWP parlament member) is telling the young people, the children of Dominica, that they should not participate in the youth parade, because of the appointment of President Savarin, the hypocrite, which is what Mr. Prevost is, is on the same stage/platform with Presdent Charles Savarin. He glorified being on that stage, making his speech to the gathering at “Creole in The Park, sharing the same stage with President Savarin. What double standard, what hypocrisy!!
I said it, that those “Boycott opposition Party”. Will not boycott the sewo. They want to use the youth to do their dirty work. Prevost, I had more respect for you, but now you are me sick!!!
Today at Creole in the ark, there were two people who received awards fom the Presdent and you were there!! You are denying the youth who worked so hard, from receiving their awards fom the Same President!! The is unbelievable!!
And another thing ” not a herd follower”, don’t ever think that all Dominicans think like you and the Boycott Opposition. Party. What makes you believe that the recipients of the awards today, shared your views! Think about that.
Get over it. You are just being political.
I myself, I just cannot be bother with anything that is going on now. My child in Cave hill cannot do her test because those whatever not paying his economic fees. When she was shouting labour labour I had warned her. furthermore no body should go to UWI. It have other universities that doh have all that misery. But she wil come out one day and I hope I will still be alive. People that working cannot get anything. 30 years I working for that government and my tax money paying for others. GOD IS IN CONTROL
You dam lie, you were never in support of the PM. Find work you lazy Bitch. The red clinic was not good for all you.
hopefully she will teach you how to construct proper sentences. with that grammar, i am guessing you are a Messenger.
Yadi, yadi, yada. Complain, complain, complain. No wonder you are so miserable.
People that willing to work always get work to do.
mister brumant knows that hes shaking a bad hand look at his smile look at the ladies you deserve mr bru not cnarles
You are really not from Vieille Case because Lawrance is not that type he is everybody person.
Congrat to the awardees- But their well deserved recognition is contaminated with Savarin in the middle.
jackass. He is still the president and was sworn in in accordance with the island”s constitution.
I would suggest that you get a copy of the constitution and carefully read and understand it and stop your ignorance.
All you boycott parliament for 3 yrs. Go for the record and boycott dominica for 10 years. We do not need haters in our midst. If your master becomes PM, should the opposition do the same and boycott everything they do not agree with? I did not think so. Think before spreading your hate.
Congratulations to both men. Down with the haters and their politics. All for each and each for all. Hating is a disease that takes time to cure. Dominica is our to build.
Tell dat to the ruling gang, they are the kings of hate, no they are merchants of hate, no they are agents of hate, sick with it and spreading it.
Amen to that
I did not see it with my eyes but I heard it on radio that Charles savarin was at opening of (LCIP)was he there as president?prevost vowed to boycott all events where savarin stand as resident
I Understand that when Prevost spoke he associated/recognized the protocol that was already established by other speakers before him and thatis torecognize the Presient of Dominica, H. E Charles Angelo Savarin. Haters, what esle can you do? just wait for the election date which H.E Savarin must sign into law when so advise by Pm Roosevelt Skerrit.
Which Dominican that do not know how Dominica got its name? I would like to get another view of how that name came about. Interesting.
I am sure that you do not know how Dominica got its name according to Lawerence Brumant.
@Observer: If you know Mr. Brumant and his conte stories, you will have gotten the idea of the story. He had a very popular conte on how Columbus named Dominica. He is a very funny man who tells Conte and would have you laughing till you cry.
Congratulations to the “King of Conte and Mr. Williams for their achievements.
One Love Dominicans!!!
@Observer this is just story telling in a funny maniere. Sounds like you were born yesterday morning. I can send you a copy of my dad’s conte.
thought all you was going to boycott everything the president was involved in
Lawrence, you still look good. You are an Author now? Good for you. Lawo, the people still can not spell the word “Vieille” in Vieille Case.
this guy looks very un-presidential… he must be the interim, i refuse to believe after distinguished men like Pres. Sorhaindo. That this man, is the president of Dominica.
Don’t hate my brother! God does not like haters!
Eat your heart out! Stress “politricks” kay tjway zor! Les Sak Sot.
Congrats to the receipients of the awards.
Big fish swim with big fish.
The President is properly dressed DO UR THING MR.CAS
