First , confess ignorancia.Hace few months, Éstesudiyéi knew little or very little Harry Belafonte beyond that Banana Boat Song (Day O) sounded in Beetlejuice or film appearances. But, of course, greatly excited his interest when the very Tom Waits, luxury guest editor at Mojo number 200, greeted him as one of the greatest American singers of all time and included his magnificent Sylvie on the CD accompanying the magazine. Increased when one of those delightful conversations / ramblings / disquisitions / discussions music lovers, the Panther -DJ Usera, painter, graphic artist, animator, director of video clips at odd moments ...- defined his version of Cu cu ru cu-cu paloma other delicacies, as one of his songs header lifetime. And finally exploded after that in another passionate and exciting dialogue-vinyl music lover, Miss Organa ( among other things, a member of the team always advisable blog New Musical Stress ) discovered his unconditional love for music Mr Belafonte.
What was left? For research, listening, reading and gain from the work of Harry. Said and done: Reyes right after three records fell in three of eager hands, and then to the eager ears of DJFlow . Essential a very good price with songs chosen by the artist, an economic package with its two most successful albums, in which pecks at the Calypso genre that most identifies you, but by no means the only, and direct practice of yore. Recorded in 1959 at Carnegie Hall New York. Divided into three parts: Belafonte at all state of grace begins in the spiritual world and its surroundings, makes stop and restaurant on the calypso "in every success in the late 50 - and ends with a trip by music planet very different root .
Belafonte is an interpreter of wide spectrum, of those who can give each song what it needs. And since then, with a 10-year career-domain showed incredible expressive resources. But above all, the tempo , how dose the intensity of its staging of the show. How to stomp on a stage, in every way. It also has a deep voice, clear and clean baritone that gives weight to each interpretation. And apart from how undoubtedly knows what sing. Lover of songs with the municipality and light-light-no, those that say a lot with little choice of repertoire is impeccable. The 3 that that referred to in the first paragraph are from 19 of the disc, but there is a gap for the gospel - The Marching Saints, aka The Saints Go Marchin 'In , or his incredible reading Cotton Fields, then famous by Creedence Clearwater Revival - the Caribbean music, the beautiful Jamaica Farewell to the hilarious Piaba Man - or the Irish folk almost a capella and thrilling Danny Boy.
But the winners, those for which truly give the urge to stay and live in the disc are the aforementioned Cu cu ru cu cu Dove -Castilian spectacular dive with a more than decent in this classic Mexican and Sylvie prisoners-a song which gives Belafonte almost mystical dimension, as well as John Henry -in which almost anticipates this new tradition folk protest was simmering time (remember, 1959) in Greenwich Village , with Dylan about to land, and the final glorious epiphany -13 minutes with the entire theater singing and delivered-with Matilda . Highlight that explains how Harry Belafonte -born-83 years ago to channel emotions, their own and others, with their music. How great.
