Day Oh!

The traditional song Day-Oh! became very popular when Harry Belafonte (New-York, 1927) put it in his repertoire as 'Banana Boat Song'. This jazz musician discovered by chance that he boasted a unique voice and so he became an internationally famous and popular singer. This song is a ballad telling about people working in the banana trade. The British composer and arranger Terry Kenny wrote this fine wind band version.
