Calypso Rose
The Calypso Queen of the World.
McArtha Linda Sandy-Lewis, the first Queen of Calypso, has been composing and entertaining audiences since the age of fifteen.
In 1966 she wrote Fire In Me Wire, which has since become a calypso anthem. Rose was the first female to win the Trinidad Road March Competition in 1977 with her song Tempo. She won the Calypso Queen title five years running. She has also won both the Trinidad Calypso Crown and Road March competitions in 1978, the Sunshine Award in 1989 and Trinidad & Tobago Hummingbird Medal in 2000.
Calypso Rose continues to inspire, uplift and entertain audiences around the world, so come along and enjoy the best of calypso, steel pan and film.
