About the artist

Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte, the legendary calypso singer, actor, and activist, has captivated audiences around the world with his infectious rhythms and smooth vocals. Known for hits such as "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" and "Jamaica Farewell," Belafonte has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Born Harold George Belafonte Jr. on March 1, 1927, in Harlem, New York, Belafonte's early life was marked by poverty and hardship. However, he soon discovered his passion for music and began performing in local jazz clubs. Belafonte's career took off in the 1950s, when he released his debut album, "Calypso," which became the first album to sell over 1 million copies. With his smooth vocals and charismatic stage presence, Belafonte quickly became a household name. In addition to his music career, Belafonte also made a name for himself in Hollywood, starring in films such as "Carmen Jones" and "Island in the Sun." He used his platform to shine a light on social issues, becoming a prominent voice in the civil rights movement. Now in his nineties, Belafonte continues to inspire audiences with his timeless music and unwavering commitment to social justice. His legacy as a trailblazing artist and activist is truly unparalleled, and his influence can still be felt in the music industry today. So the next time you find yourself humming along to "Day-O," remember the man behind the music - the one and only Harry Belafonte.
