Nigerian Artist Tiwa Savage, Ezra \u201cDa Fun Machine\u201d of St Lucia, and Legendary Kassav, who provided an unforgettable experience for hundreds of visitors and Dominicans alike.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;International Superstar Kehlani&#8221;, who was scheduled to perform at the WCMF on the final night, was unable to grace the stage. The Oakland, CA, native\u2019s charter flight was reportedly cancelled due to the effects of Hurricane Melissa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we started off, we started pushing the fact that this is a Jubilee year that we&#8217;re celebrating 25 in 2025, and we always told the public that it&#8217;s going to be a massive year for us,\u201d she said during an interview with state-owned Radio DBS. \u201cNot only in terms of investment, but in terms of the number of acts that are on the line up. Why? Because this year, while we celebrated over 10 genres of music, we also celebrated the locals through the Bouyon and the Cadence-lypso.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_351133\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-351133\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-351133 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Scene-from-Asa-Bantans-Performance-2-642x361.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Scene-from-Asa-Bantans-Performance-2-642x361.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Scene-from-Asa-Bantans-Performance-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Scene-from-Asa-Bantans-Performance-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Scene-from-Asa-Bantans-Performance-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Scene-from-Asa-Bantans-Performance-2-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Scene-from-Asa-Bantans-Performance-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-351133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scene from Asa Bantan&#8217;s Performance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She continued, \u201cThat is the significance of the festival, and I think that is the message that has carried all through to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams added, \u201cBased on the reviews from the public, based on what we&#8217;ve been monitoring, we can say that the event has been successful. Every event that you plan is a different project. So it&#8217;s the same World Creole Music Festival brand, \u00a0but it is always a different project. And with different projects as you implement, you learn, \u00a0you grow, \u00a0you always encounter difficulties, challenges, [but] figure out ways to overcome them, and you use them to build on the next event. So, in our opinion, from public perception, generally, we can say that the event was successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, she pointed out that in order to go deeper into the numbers and figures, a little more time is needed to put this information together.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_351132\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-351132\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-351132\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Section-of-the-crowd-during-Asa-Bantans-Performance-642x361.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Section-of-the-crowd-during-Asa-Bantans-Performance-642x361.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Section-of-the-crowd-during-Asa-Bantans-Performance-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Section-of-the-crowd-during-Asa-Bantans-Performance-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Section-of-the-crowd-during-Asa-Bantans-Performance-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Section-of-the-crowd-during-Asa-Bantans-Performance-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Section-of-the-crowd-during-Asa-Bantans-Performance.jpg 1599w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-351132\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Section of the crowd during Asa Bantan&#8217;s Performance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Meanwhile,\u00a0<strong>Nig<\/strong><strong>ht One\u00a0<\/strong>(Friday, October 24) presented &#8216;Fire &amp; Foundation&#8217;.
