  • Fu soprannominato "Re del Calypso" per aver reso popolare la musica caraibica negli anni cinquanta: uno dei suoi brani più celebri è Banana Boat Song. Per tutto l'arco della sua carriera, Belafonte si è battuto a favore di cause legate ai diritti umani e umanitarie. Negli ultimi anni è stato fra i critici più decisi dell'amministrazione Bush. (it)
