Calypso Queen – Abatina | Trinidad & Tobago
Heir to the great Calypso Rose, the Queen of Calypso makes the Caribbean vibrate with Abatina, a timeless and deeply human title. Between rhythms reggae, female energy and social engagement, this song tells the wounds of love and the strength of women.
She is the absolute queen of calypso. Calypso Rose, by her real name McCartha Linda Sandy-Lewis, broke all the barriers: the first woman to win the prestigious title of "Calypso Monarch", she has forever marked the Caribbean music scene.
Abatina is a piece both dancing and engaged. Behind his playful rhythm is a denunciation of domestic violence, carried by strong words and solar energy.

Each episode highlights a country, an artist and a sound identity. A musical journey to discover local scenes and understand what their music is about.
