Music of Dominica

In modern Dominica, calypso, zouk and reggae are popular, along with soca and rock and roll. A combination of these pop forms called bouyon has achieved some popularity, especially the group WCK (Windward Caribbean Kulture). Native musicians in various forms, like reggae (Nasio Fontaine, Brother Matthew Luke), soca (Derick St. Rose-De Hunter, Young Bull), zouk (Ophelia Marie, Exile One) and calypso (Lazo, The Wizzard) have also become stars at home and abroad.
