Product Description

"The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" is a traditional Jamaican folk song; the best-known version was released by American singer Harry Belafonte in 1956 and later became one of his signature songs. The song has mento influences, but "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" was commonly classified as an example of the better known calypso music. It is a work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. Daylight has come, the shift is over, and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home. Parts included in this arrangement are: Full Score, Soprano Sax (Opt. Alto), Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Optional Acoustic Bass and Drum Set. Performance time is approx. 1 minute 50 seconds.
