Road March Kings and Songs
The Carnival Road March is the musical composition played most often at the “judging points” along the parade route during Carnival. Scoring is based upon a rank and points-system devised by a Dominica Calypso Association before the start of the parade. Our artists have produced some awesome Road March songs over the years to spice up the carnival jump up.
