Barbados is honouring the Calypso King of the World, Slinger Francisco, the Mighty Sparrow, for his contribution to the artform.
A life-like depiction of the Trinidad and Tobago calypsonian is to be unveiled at the Caribbean Wax Museum in Norman Centre, Bridgetown, Barbados, tomorrow.
It will be housed on the premises of The Commercial Credit Division of Consolidated Finance Co. Ltd, Barbados.
Since 1956, he has remained the only calypsonian to have won the Trinidad and Tobago Calypso Monarch title eight times, more than anyone else.
He also took the Road March title on several occasions.
Francisco has taken his music to the US, Europe and even Africa.
