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.
