Music reviews of Calypso
Music Review: Great Calypso Oldies!!
Rating: 4 Stars
I purchased this CD for a surprise 70th birthday party for my mom. She loves Harry Belfonte and loved this CD!! I also used the "I Adore Her" song for a video montage that I had a photographer put together for me with pictures of my mom from as far back as the early 50's back in Jamaica. Even though the song is about a man adoring a woman, I love my mother dearly and thought the title was lovely. The only reason I rated it a 4 and not 5, is I am in my 30's and I liked most of the music but not all.
Description of Calypso
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 GrubbClassic Vocalists CDs
