1	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 $2.69! new only from $3.76!
2	Very Best of Harry Belafonte [RCA] (2001) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist RCA's Very Best of Harry Belafonte fulfills the title in fine fashion, compiling 20 of his best-known hits onto a single CD (though it cheats slightly by adding a pair of unreleased tracks, "Bam Bam Bamba" and "Two Brothers"). Fans of his breakout Calypso LP from 1956 will find several tracks here -- the obvious "Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" plus ... see all copies from $8.08! new only from $8.08!
3	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!
4	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 $13.37! new only from $13.37!
5	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!
6	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!
7	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!
8	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!
9	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 $10.44! new only from $10.44!
10	Klassic Kitchener, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Lord Kitchener add to wishlist Ironically, this set of early soca is the best of the Kitchener collections so far. First, it has all his major songs of the 1970s, including the great "Pan in A Minor." Second it shows him contriving, like no other calypsonian of his generation, to move into the new idiom while keeping the freshness and variety of the old one. As a bonus, it's ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $12.75!
11	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!
12	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 $15.24! new only from $15.24!
13	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 $7.90! new only from $12.72!
14	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!
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 $6.83! new only from $6.83!
16	The Long Road to Freedom: An Anthology of Black Music (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $14.43! new only from $37.58!
17	Bright Spaces (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This collection of children's music by a number of artists supports Bright Spaces, a program designed to create safe, supportive environments for playing, reading, and dreaming for homeless children. The album Bright Spaces gathers 16 fun songs by everyone from Arlo Guthrie to the Crawdaddys to Si Kahn. Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers start ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $11.83!
18	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 $23.23! new only from $23.23!
19	Beauty and the Beat: Favorite Disney Tunes in Steelband Style (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20	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 $5.36! new only from $12.51!
21	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!
22	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!
23	Steel Band Music of the Caribbean [Delta Single Disc] (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.44!
24	Caribbean Surf (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99!
25	3 Originals (2001) more music like this by Harry Belafonte add to wishlist Curiously, given the title of this repackaging of three European Harry Belafonte CDs, none of them is precisely an "original" release. And, in fact, they cover material from four, not three LPs, plus a couple of other stray tracks. But such qualifications are only to suggest that 3 Originals actually contains more music than you might expect. At a ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
