Jamaica

Dear friends,

Those who lived their youths at the same time of mine have known and danced the calypso that was brought to Brazil in the voice of Harry Belafonte.

Jamaica Farewell was just another one of his hits of contagious rhythm…

Years later I was touched hearing that song recorded by Belafonte at the Carnigie Hall when he was already a mature singer.  It was such tenderness that woke me up - and that I keep with me still today - that I could not avoid paying homage to him and "his Jamaica" the way I have learned to express my feelings.

I believe you will also let be touched by it.

Always my affection and thankfulness for the prestige and encouragement that, generously, you have granted me,
Delza
