Hi everybody! I've just made a cover of Jamaica Farewell. It's a bit different from this version. View it and hope you enjoy!!! (just click on the video "Jamaica Farewell - Harry Belafonte (guitar cover)" in "VIDEO RESPOND" below)

[jonathanatack]

lol he said gay xD

[kevindk]

@jonathanatack you are a dickhead... the lyrics really do say "down the way where the nights are gay" and if you don't know another meaning of "gay" then go look it up.. pathetic kid

[snerror]

Very good performance!

[WWWWCHU]

[YoureGuilty]

Excellence sheer excellence. I haven't heard this since I heard the glasses clinking downstairs, the muffled laughter, and the music edging its way upstairs into my room at night as my parents entertained friends in the 60's.

[nirvana6981]

excellent

[rosafloydian]

That truly was inspiring, thank you for that classical touch

[malinoh]

[herbshwartz]

kills me

[DeKemp58]

close the closet and stick a jamaican sea side poster on it would have added to the illusion.

Great stuff, thanks

[marce7681]

Nice, thanks

[pcpbali]

that was great..so nice to hear..brings back memories of long lost days

[annashakira]

where did u learn it

[hersoveela]

The introduction melody is mine. I found the basic calypso style arpeggio pattern from a book I bought from a Music school in Singapore in 1975. I no longer have this book but I think the last name of the classical guitar teacher who wrote the book is Png. That's all I can tell you.

[LYRICTENORHIGHF]

great job, you have a good voice too. Wonderful performance, so romantic, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!

[karanatrv]
