Veteran Calypsonian Calypso Rose has won the World Album of the Year award at the Victoire de la Musique award ceremony in France.

Far From home, the platinum-selling album was released on the Because Music label on June 3, 2016.
The 76-year-old artiste began singing at the age of 15.
Accepting her award, the musician thanked the government of T&T and all her fans.
"They have kept me going with the beautiful music and the vibrations I give them," she said as the audience applauded.
