Caricom song songstress awarded

Michele Henderson of Dominica debuted her song Celebrating CARICOM at yesterday’s opening of the Caricom Heads of Government Summit in Antigua. Here she receives her US$10,000 prize and a plaque from Caricom Secretary General Irwin LaRocque. The song, which will be used at ceremonial and Community events, was written and produced by Henderson in collaboration with her husband Roland Delsol Jnr. as well as her band and other music colleagues in Dominica. The CARICOM Song Competition was launched in April 2013 as part of the Community’s fortieth anniversary celebrations.
