The legendary Calypso Rose, who is now 69, is the subject of a new documentary. The artist, who was born in Tobago but is these days based in Queens, New York, is an ambassador for socio-political and cultural issues as well as an exceptional artist. She is a remarkable woman, a survivor of both rape, in her youth and two bouts of cancer in more recent times, yet still performs regularly and as mischievously as ever. In fact, she has a new album out, aiming to reach a more diverse audience.
The documentary, entitled Rose, Calypso Diva, follows Rose through her narrative and her travels, telling the story of her life, its influences and impact. We discover Rose both through her own tale and through her interaction with family and friends, new and old. The film is scheduled for submission to various film festivals, including the Hot Docs Documentary Festival in Toronto, Canada.
