Harry Belafonte，人称“卡利普索歌曲之王”，是最成功的美籍非裔音乐明星之一，其吸收了民谣、爵士和世界打击节奏音乐的精髓，在主流音乐方面取得了成功，其受到欢迎的程度在黑人民权运动之前绝无仅有，而且他也是民权运动的先锋，2000年获得格莱美终身成就奖。
(卡利普索. calypso. 千里達的一種民歌，也在加勒比群島的東、南部演唱，其歌詞常以詼諧的語調諷刺當地的政治、社會事件。)
Jamaica Farewell - Harry Belafonte
Down the bay where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
`Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
