Free Music Review: Cure for the winter blahs
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a really fun album. There's more authentic Caribbean music from the early 60s than this, but probably nothing as uniformly accessible. Play this in February to chase the winter blahs away.
If you host a lot of parties, try putting on "Calypso" instead of the standard Rock/Pop hits. The start with "Day-O" is sure to impress your hipster friends, but the rest of the album is almost sure to get a few inebriated sing-alongs going.
Calypso Poster
When Harry Belafonte released Calypso, with its memorable songs "Day-O", "I Do Adore Her", and "Jamaica Farewell" sung in his personable, warm voice, it quickly became a bestseller. Like any good folk music, the songs are accessible, yet they also bear the exotic lure of the Caribbean. From the songs of hard work, such as "Day-O" and "Hosanna," to the sly good humor of "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)" and "The Jackass Song," Belafonte's voice helped bring the richness of Caribbean culture to the North American consciousness. While a couple of the songs here are featured in arrangements that may sound a bit corny to modern ears, most sound delightfully fresh and have definitely stood the test of time. --Jeff GrubbFolk Music CDs
