Belafonte,Harry Calypso + Belafonte Sings Of The Caribbean CD

Digitally re-mastered two-fer containing a pair of albums (+ three bonus tracks) from the vocalist and entertainer. Harry Belafonte's artistic talent, good looks and honey-toned voice made him a star on stage, screen and vinyl. His masterful assimilation of folk, blues, jazz, and world beat rhythms allowed him to achieve a level of eminence and crossover popularity. In the mid-'60s, Belafonte's LP CALYPSO popularized the music of his Jamaican heritage and hit #1 on the charts. This quintessential edition presents two of his finest albums, both of which include songs from the West Indies: The aforementioned best-seller CALYPSO (1956), and the equally influential BELAFONTE SINGS OF THE CARIBBEAN (1957). Both records were originally released by RCA-Victor during Belafonte's most inspired years. They have been re-mastered and packaged together in this very special collector's edition, which also includes three bonus tracks from the same period that keep the Caribbean flavor.
