I don\u2019t think that this is a good idea,\u201d Henderson remarked. \u201cI mentioned on stage that we have a Carnival society, and I don\u2019t think that we should be a Carnival society. We should have variety and diversity in our society and in our music society, so to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continued, \u201cWe need nightlife, so people who own the clubs, restaurants, and the other forms of night entertainment&#8230;what are they going to do? So that is one of the major things that I would have done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Henderson added, \u201cIf we are thinking of promoting the festival as a tourism event, we cannot go three nights from sunset to sunrise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another change that Henderson proposed was to stop inviting musical genres as headliners that fall outside Dominica\u2019s prominent French-lexicon Creole tradition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that was the genesis of the festival,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI agree we could include other forms of patois or Creole,\u201d he said, \u201cbut if our goal is to promote French-lexicon Creole, then those other forms should be featured as special guests\u2014not headliners\u2014otherwise, we undermine the entire purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate, Henderson added, \u201cif you have a citrus festival and you notice that people do not like citrus as much as before, you cannot invite apples as your headliner\u2014as your citrus\u2014invite them as special red apple guests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Henderson went on to add that he was happy to be selected to perform at this year\u2019s WCMF.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis year I had 45 minutes, which I respected\u2026what I did was I brought in a team that has not had the opportunity of bringing in before,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, he strongly believes that Cadence-Lypso will survive, the same way Rockabilly has survived and will continue to survive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rockabilly music originated in the 1950s, and is described as an infectious blend of rock and roll and country influences, which has captivated audiences for decades.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He used Elvis Presley, for example, noting that his music doesn\u2019t represent Rock and Roll today, but it lives on even after his death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The World Creole Music Festival, first held in 1997, has grown into one of the Caribbean\u2019s leading cultural events. It celebrates Creole music in all its forms\u2014zouk, bouyon, kompa, reggae, dancehall, soca, afrobeat, and more\u2014while promoting regional unity and artistic innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cadence Legend Gordon Henderson\u00a0has stirred debate over the direction of the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF), questioning the
