This 1976 album finds Belafonte engaging with the reggae sounds of Jamaica, a decade after his initial calypso breakthrough.

Harry Belafonte was a Jamaican-American singer, actor, and activist who popularized calypso music with his 1956 album "Calypso." By 1976, Belafonte was a global music icon, though this album saw him explore more contemporary reggae sounds.
