Harry Belafonte - Listen to the Man (Live in Concert) [2008, Calypso, Caribbean Folk, Vocal, DVD5]

2008 archive release from the iconic singer, humanitarian, and activist who gives an exciting, varied, and deeply satisfying performance in this 1997 concert from the Performing Arts Center of Purchase College in New York. At 70, Belafonte still evinces all the charisma, intensity, and musicality of his youth - when he took Pop, Folk, Cabaret, Calypso, and film by storm as a pioneering Caribbean-American superstar. In this concert, he returns us to that time with songs like "Jamaica Farewell", "Matilda", and of course "The Banana Boat Song", indelibly known as "Day-O". But he also continues the musical pioneering that has made him legendary for half a century. With a multicultural band blending African percussion, reeds, pennywhistle, bass, guitars, and a swirling, dancing backup quartet, Belafonte explores sounds ranging from African pop to American cabaret. A thrilling and adventurous evening from a beloved singer and innovator. Immortal.
