Event Details
Presented in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center
A celebration of the music and life of Harry Belafonte, performed by a seven-piece band led by René Marie on vocals. The show intersperses the most-beloved calypso selections of Belafonte with lesser-known facts about his use of music to effect social change. Each musical selection (arrangements by trumpeter Etienne Charles) is curated to engage the heart and mind of both long-time fans of Harry Belafonte and more recent acolytes.

A lyricist / composer / arranger / playwright / actress / educator / speaker / and social justice activist, René is an Americana roots artist with jazz improvisational chops. Influenced by her southern upbringing, she incorporates folk, R&B, country and classical elements into her music and approach, lending her a unique sound and style that have captivated audiences worldwide.
