Richès Karayib

The integration of Richès Karayib into the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) marks a new stage in the development of Caribbean media. This membership formalizes Richès Karayib’s regional roots and reinforces its determination to actively contribute to the structuring of the Caribbean media landscape.

The Caribbean Broadcasting Union, a pillar of the Caribbean media landscape

A strategic step for Richès Karayib

Since its creation, Richès Karayib has been promoting culture, heritage, tourism and the women and men who shape the Caribbean’s attractiveness and influence. Membership of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union consolidates this trajectory by opening up new prospects:

  • – publishing cooperation on a regional scale

  • – enhanced visibility with institutional and economic players

Joining the Caribbean Broadcasting Union also enables Richès Karayib to place its productions within a demanding regional framework, where content quality, journalistic rigor and editorial impact are decisive.

Building a structured Caribbean media space

The Caribbean is rich in talent, culture and initiative. However, content produced in one territory is still not widely distributed to other islands and countries in the region. One of the major challenges of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union is precisely to promote this circulation and encourage regional collaboration.

By joining the Caribbean Broadcasting Union, Richès Karayib is affirming its desire to play an active part in this dynamic. This is not just institutional recognition, but a commitment: to contribute to a more connected, visible and structured Caribbean media.

This approach is in line with Richès Karayib’s mission to promote the region’s talents, initiatives and heritage, while encouraging synergies between regions.

Setting course for the CBU Media Awards

As part of this membership, Richès Karayib will take part in the 37th CBU Media Awards organized by the Caribbean Broadcasting Union. Richès Karayib’s participation is in line with the company’s commitment to professionalization and regional outreach.

Beyond the competition, the CBU Media Awards represent a space for Caribbean media to meet, exchange ideas and gain visibility. For RK, it’s a further opportunity to promote a committed editorial voice in the service of the Caribbean.

Mighty Sparrow, from Grand Roy to Port of Spain: 91 Years of Calypso

Born in Grenada in 1935, he moved to Trinidad as a young child and died in New York on September 27, 2026. Mighty Sparrow leaves behind eight Calypso Monarch titles and eight Road March victories. He also leaves behind songs that held up a mirror to everyday life. In 1956, the stands at the Calypso King finals began to rumble from the very first verse. At least that’s how Mighty Sparrow described it years later, referring to “Jean and Dinah.” The young singer was in his twenties. His song was about the departure of American soldiers from Trinidad and its impact on the women living around the Chaguaramas base. It earned him two titles that same year—Calypso King and Road March—but only $40. This meager earnings inspired his next song, “Carnival Boycott,” a protest against the low pay given to calypsonians. From the very beginning, Mighty Sparrow demanded fair pay

Raoul Peck’s “The Man on the Quay” looks back at François Duvalier’s dictatorship in Haiti through the eyes of a child. You are now reading the fifth episode in a series of ten. Four episodes have already been published on Richès Karayib, and five more will follow through 2025. 1992: MARTINIQUE/GUADELOUPE – SIMÉON, BY EUZHAN PALCY Following his early work in Hollywood, Euzhan Palcy returned to the Caribbean with a film rooted in Caribbean magical-religious folklore, told in the style of a fairy tale and

Betico Croes, the schoolteacher who made Aruba a country of its own

Betico Croes, a schoolteacher who became a political leader, led Aruba toward “Status Aparte,” which took effect on January 1, 1986. This status separates the island from the Netherlands Antilles and makes it a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Betico Croes was the architect of this status, but an accident the day before left him in a coma from which he never awoke. Every January 25, Aruba pauses to honor Betico Croes. An official ceremony is held in the square named after him, Plaza Libertador G.F. Betico Croes. There, the national anthem is sung, wreaths are laid, and poems are recited. The governor attends, along with the family and the prime minister. This holiday, Dia di Betico, honors the man whom Arubans call their liberator. In 2026, it has special significance, as Aruba celebrates the 40th anniversary of its Status Aparte and the 50th anniversary of its
