Belafonte said in an interview with the ArtsJournal blog Jazz Beyond Jazz: "The most important thing to me about 'The Banana Boat Song' is that before America heard it, Americans had no notion of the rich culture of the Caribbean. Very few of them did, anyway, which made no sense to me. It made no sense to me back then that people in America would not respond to the Caribbean culture I knew in joyous, positive ways. But there were these cultural assumptions then about people from the Caribbean - that they were all rum drinking, sex-crazed and lazy - not they were tillers of the land, harvesters of bananas for landlords of the plantations. I thought, let me sing about a new definition of these people. Let me sing a classic work song, about a man who works all night for a sum equal to the cost of a dram of beer, a man who works all night because it's cooler then than during the day." 0:13 [Songfacts]
Dear Harry Belafonte, It is with great sadness that we bid you farewell. Your passing has left an indelible mark on the world of music, activism, and philanthropy. Your remarkable talent as a singer, songwriter, and actor has entertained and inspired generations. From the iconic "Banana Boat Song" to your powerful rendition of "We Shall Overcome," your music has transcended boundaries and brought people together. But it was not just your music that made you a legend. Your lifelong commitment to social justice and human rights was truly admirable. You were an advocate for racial equality, a champion for the underprivileged, and a voice for the voiceless. Your work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and your contributions to the fight against HIV/AIDS will never be forgotten. Your legacy will continue to live on through your music and your activism. You have left an indelible mark on the world, and your voice will continue to inspire generations to come. Rest in peace, Harry Belafonte. Your memory will forever be cherished.
