About The Record:

Belafonte '89 by Harry Belafonte, is a dynamic live album recorded in Germany that captures the iconic performer delivering fresh takes on his signature calypso and folk repertoire with a spirited international band blending percussion, guitar, and sax. It features engaging collaborations such as Dianne Reeves on Skin To Skin and highlights energetic crowd-pleasers like the extended Matilda. Fan-favorites shine through vibrant versions of Island In The Sun, Jamaica Farewell, and the rousing closer Banana Boat (also known as Day-O) that showcase his charismatic stage presence and cultural storytelling.

The album serves as a testament to Belafonte's enduring vitality and dedication to music as a vehicle for connection well into his career.
