Cultural stalwart Leroy 'Wadix' Charles posited that the 2023 WCMF demonstrated a sense of shame in the failure to fully embrace the Creole culture, despite the prevailing notion that it constitutes an integral component of the Dominican identity. This was evidenced by the decision to include Creole performances during the opening rather than at a later stage in the event. Charles further highlighted the departure from traditional African color schemes in the attire, prompting inquiry into the fate of the African element within the country's Creole identity. Charles articulated his discontent and disapproval of the unfortunate circumstance that the festival did not receive an official inauguration in the French regions of Martinique and Guadeloupe, notwithstanding the fact that these nations constitute the festival's most substantial supporters and participants.
