| 687. Jamaica Farewell (Traditional Caribbean)Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:43:24 -0800 by raymondcrookeProbably the best known of all calypso songs, the lyrics have been attributed to Lord Burgess, who put it together with various bits of traditional Caribbean folk song, using a traditional calypso tune known as "Iron Bar.". It was made famous by Harry Belafonte, who performed it on his groundbreaking album, "Calypso".The term "ackee rice" refers to the fruit of a tropical tree taken to Jamaica from West Africa in 1793. It's apparently an aquired taste, but Jamaicans love it cooked with saltfish, tomatoes, onions, bacon and spices. It is eaten with hard dumplings, green bananas and maybe breadfruit.The song has been recorded many times. Some of the best include Jimmy Buffett, The Brothers Four, Carly Simon, Marty Robbins, Lew Dite and Sam Cooke. Related: folk song calypso harry belafonte ackee rice | |
