Today, the Trinbago Unified Calypsonians’ Organisation proudly celebrates International Women’s Day, recognising the remarkable women whose voices, talent and courage continue to shape and strengthen the artform of calypso.

From the pioneers who paved the way to the powerful performers, writers and cultural leaders of today, women remain an essential force in telling the stories of our people and preserving the legacy of our music.

TUCO salutes the women of calypso and the wider cultural community for their creativity, resilience and unwavering contribution to the cultural fabric of Trinidad and Tobago.

Happy International Women’s Day. 🌺🎤
