Calypso Rose (born April 27, 1940, Bethel Village, Tobago) is a calypsonian. She started writing songs at the age of 15; over the years, she has composed more than 800 songs and recorded more than 20 albums.

She currently resides in Queens, New York, and has stated that she likes to return to her native island several times a year to “revitalize herself” and “get back to her African roots in Tobago”.

Early Life

Calypso Rose, born either Linda McCartha Monica Sandy-Lewis or McCartha Linda Sandy-Lewis, grew up in a small village on the island of Tobago, one of the two Caribbean islands forming Trinidad and Tobago, the birthplace of calypso. She lived with her parents and her ten siblings in a two-bedroom house until she was nine years old, at which point she went to live with an aunt and uncle on the neighbouring island of Trinidad.

Her father was a preacher and a leader of the Spiritual Shouter Baptists. Her family was very traditional and opposed her singing in Carnival tents. She composed her first calypso in 1955 after seeing a man steal the show from two women performing on a stage: this was the earliest calypso written on gender inequality.{{cn|date=April 2018}}

Career

Traveling in 1963, Rose covered the Caribbean islands from Grenada to St. Thomas. She won the Calypso King contest in St. Thomas with her first recording, Cooperation. This was the first time a woman had ever been awarded the title.[1] In 1964, she decided to dedicate her life to a career in music. Although originally known as Crusoe Kid, she was given the name Calypso Rose by calypsonian Mighty Spoiler and fellow Carnival tent members.[2]

In 1966 Rose wrote the song "Fire in Me Wire", the first calypso ever running two years in a row at the Trinidad Carnival.[3] She performed with Bob Marley & the Wailers at the Grand Ballroom in New York City in 1967[4] and toured with him three times during the 1970s.[5]

1978 marked the year the Trinidad Road March competition’s title was changed to Calypso Monarch in her honor.[6][7] Rose has been living in New York since 1983. In October 1996, she underwent surgery for breast cancer.[8] In 1998, she underwent treatment for a malignancy in her stomach.[9] She was the subject of a documentary (Calypso Rose, Lioness in the Jungle) in 2011.[10]

In 2015, French singer Manu Chao discovered her work and decided to help out with the production of her new album along with Ivan Duran,[11] in which he is featured on three songs. A compilation, Calypso Rose, Queen of Calypso for 40 years!, was released in 2016.[12]

She released her album, Far from Home, in June 2016 and won the 2017 World Music Album of the Year prize at French music award ceremony Les Victoires de la Musique. In 2017, the album was awarded Platinum sale status in France, a premiere for any artist from Trinidad and Tobago.[13][14]
