Good to know
What “Dodo, Ti Mwen, Dodo” Means
Saint Lucia's twin volcanic peaks, the Pitons, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the island's most iconic image, while Kwéyòl (Saint Lucian French Creole) remains widely spoken alongside English. This original lullaby, in Kwéyòl, borrows that same volcanic, moonlit coastline.
