Album Notes & Community Reviews
Moving beyond his signature calypso repertoire, Harry Belafonte curated this diverse collection of international folk songs and spirituals. The album highlights his immense vocal warmth and theatrical phrasing as he tackles Japanese, Israeli, and African-American traditional melodies. It underscored his role as a prominent, globally minded ambassador for world music long before the genre label existed.
