1	Very Best of Harry Belafonte [RCA] (2001) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist see all copies from $7.13! new only from $7.13!
2	Calypso (1956) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist This is the album that made Harry Belafonte's career. Up to this point, calypso had only been a part of Belafonte's focus in his recordings of folk music styles. But with this landmark album, calypso not only became tattooed to Belafonte permanently; it had a revolutionary effect on folk music in the 1950s and '60s. The album consists of songs ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $6.83!
3	Belafonte at Carnegie Hall (1959) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist The granddaddy of all live albums, this double-LP set captures the excitement of a Harry Belafonte concert at the height of his popularity. Sampled from two consecutive performances of identical material, Belafonte at Carnegie Hall was an anomaly at a time when only comedy albums were recorded outside of the studio environment. It wasn't the first ... see all copies from $2.83! new only from $3.76!
4	All Time Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (1978) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist All Time Greatest Hits collects most of Harry Belafonte's biggest calypso hits, including "Banana Boat (Day-O)." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
5	To Wish You a Merry Christmas (1962) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist A reissue of LPM-1887 from 1958 with different liner art, but identical otherwise. The original was only issued in mono, so it is likely RCA decided that while they were issuing the stereo masters, they'd update the artwork to include Belafonte's photogenic presence. ~ Cary Ginell, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.74! new only from $5.88!
6	An Evening with Harry Belafonte & Friends (1997) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist An Evening With Harry Belafonte & Friends is an album to accompany the live performance of the same shown on PBS television stations in 1997. It is a remarkable album, especially considering Belafonte's longevity. The album contains multiple songs dealing with oppression and freedom, as it is one of Belafonte's major endeavors. There are some ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.99!
7	Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall (1960) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist On May 2, 1960, Harry Belafonte returned to Carnegie Hall for what was supposed to be one of the last concerts in the venerable hall's last season. Carnegie was scheduled to be torn down, although this was an edict that was thankfully short-lived. The hall was instead renovated and remains one of New York's premier showplaces. The first Carnegie ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $4.75!
8	An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri (1966) more music like this by Harry Belafonte & Nana Mouskouri add to wishlist Following the pattern of his album duet with Lena Horne on songs from Porgy and Bess, Harry Belafonte teamed up this time with Greek chanteuse Nana Mouskouri. Belafonte first performed with Mouskouri in Burlington, VT in 1964 during his first college tour. As with Lena Horne, Belafonte sings only two duets with Mouskouri; the remaining tunes may ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.99!
9	Putumayo Presents: The Caribbean (2006) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A nice collection of relatively easygoing music from around the Caribbean. Putumayo Presents: The Caribbean makes a point of hitting on some of the lesser islands, which is a nice change from the usual reliance on reggae and soca for Caribbean compilations. Here, there's a bit of biguine from Martinique, courtesy of Kali, along with mento and ska ... see all copies from $5.28! new only from $12.51!
10	Baba Boom!: Musically Intensified Festival Songs (2004) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Arts competitions have always been a part of Jamaica's history, dating back to the late 1800s, but they took on special meaning after 1962, the year that the island nation became independent. A sudden swell in national pride and Jamaican identity swept the country, an electricity that is captured on Baba Boom!, a collection of festival songs from ... see all copies from $14.49! new only from $14.49!
11	Let's Play! (2002) more music like this by Raffi add to wishlist Children's music superstar Raffi maintains his stellar standards on this charming 16-song album. Don't be fooled by the title, which is something of a misnomer: this isn't all play music. In fact, it covers a range of moods and subjects, not to mention genres.The bearded Pied Piper from Canada weaves together a selection of familiar covers and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.44!
12	16 Carnival Hits (1992) more music like this by Mighty Sparrow & Lord Kitchener add to wishlist Two of Trinidad's greatest calypsonians -- both of whom excelled into the age of soca -- on one disc? It's like heaven. After all, these two dominated Trinidad's Carnival Road March from 1956-1972, and a number of those winning songs are here, from Sparrow's "May May" to Kitchener's "Miss Tourist." But simply, there's not a single dud among the 16 ... see all copies from $13.38! new only from $13.38!
13	Island in the Sun: 20 Golden Songs (2000) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
14	Bahamian Ballads (2002) more music like this by Andre Toussaint add to wishlist If you expect the typically bouncy, breezy tunes of the Caribbean from this comprehensive CD, you're in for a major surprise. Bahamian Ballads is not quite an accurate title for this collection of songs by noted Caribbean folk musician Andre Toussaint. Although Toussaint spent his career singing in Nassau's nightclubs and bistros, he was a native ... see all copies from $8.23! new only from $8.23!
15	Love Songs (2005) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist Harry Belafonte's influence on pop music is much more far reaching then many realize, as he was one of the first performers to bring worldbeat rhythms to the U.S. charts in the postwar era. His silky smooth mixture of jazz, folk, pop, and art song, often with impossibly infectious West Indies-styled accompaniment, coupled with his charismatic good ... see all copies from $4.91! new only from $4.91!
16	Panama! Latin, Funk and Calypso on the Isthmus 1965-75 [LP] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist If you really sit down and think about how much amazing music there is in the world, you'll start to realize that you have only been exposed to a surprisingly miniscule percentage of it. Up until this album's release in April of 2006, the songs on Panama! Latin, Calypso and Funk on the Isthmus 1965-1975 had never been released outside of their ... see all copies from $15.07! new only from $15.07!

18	The Essential Harry Belafonte (2005) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist Harry Belafonte's influence on pop music is much more far reaching then many realize, as he was one of the first performers to bring worldbeat rhythms to the U.S. charts in the postwar era. Born in Harlem, but spending a good part of his childhood in his mother's native Jamaica, Belafonte grew up straddling cultures and musical styles, and ... see all copies from $9.01! new only from $15.32!
19	The Many Moods of Belafonte/Ballads, Blues and Boasters (2004) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist Issued in the British Isles, this CD combines the contents of two Harry Belafonte LPs: The Many Moods of Belafonte, released in November 1962, and Ballads, Blues and Boasters, released in September 1964. The two albums were not consecutive releases; in between, Belafonte put out the 1963 collection Streets I Have Walked. The logical question, then ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
20	Margaritaville Cafe: Late Night Live (2000) more music like this by Club Trini add to wishlist see all copies from $12.88! new only from $12.88!

23	Banana Boat Song (2002) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist A three-disc box set, this anthology might be too much material for the casual Harry Belafonte fan, although there are some wonderful rare recordings included here for the collectors. The first disc is essentially a greatest-hits sequence, including his most famous Caribbean-based songs like "Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" and "Jump in the Line." The ... see all copies from $17.91! new only from $17.91!
24	Boogu Yagga Gal: Jamaican Mento 1950s (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Mento is the Jamaican music that's never received much attention -- indeed, this is the first compilation to take a look at the style -- coming long before reggae and ska. Its roots are in the dance slaves made to the European quadrille, although it greatly changed over time, becoming more of a folk form, and by the middle of the 20th century ... see all copies from $19.99! new only from $19.99!
25	Black Pearls: The Poetry of Maya Angelou (1998) more music like this by Maya Angelou add to wishlist Black Pearls: The Poetry of Maya Angelou is a reissue of the 1969 album The Poetry of Maya Angelou, which finds the poet reading 33 poems, most of which are featured in her book Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'Fore I Die. There are five musical interludes by Ed Bland scattered throughout the record, but the primary appeal of the record, of ... see all copies from $34.95!
