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, who will also be performing) is curated to engage the heart and mind of both long-time fans of Harry Belafonte and more recent acolytes. Experience René's acclaimed ensemble interpret surprise selections and classic protest tunes like Jump in the Line, Man Smart (Woman Smarter), Day-O (The Banana Boat Song), Jamaica Farewell, and more.
Jazz programming is made possible by Sandy and Eric Krasnoff.
