The album An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba
#NowSpinning: I haven't been playing music lately, because of the despresh. The depresh doesn't want me to celebrate #FonteFriday either, but idgaf what it wants. Life can't be all sweatpants and ennui.

The album Harry Belafonte Calypso in Brass
#NowSpinning: It may be a gray, cold, misty--did I say gray already?--day in the Twin Cities, so what can one do but light a candle and combine the might of St. Harry's #FonteFriday calypso with some savory #HornyHumpDay vibes?

The album We Are the World
#NowSpinning: For today's #FonteFriday I'm spinning a little shindig that Harry Belafonte pulled together to raise $$$ for famine in Africa. You see, kids, back before all our rich people were 4Chan incel pedophiles, there was a thing called "philanthropy..."

The album Belafonte Sings the Blues
#NowSpinning: It might seem counterintuitive to get into weekend mode with smooth piano blues, but where tf can one go from steel drum music? It is #FonteFriday and all, but playing calypso after a steel band feels like gilding the lily.

This song is the reason #FonteFriday is your gateway to the weekend...

Zoot Sims New Beat Bossa Nova
#NowSpinning: Another new one from benevolent @blakedonley.bsky.social ! Zoot Sims backed Harry Belafonte during St. Harry's brief stint as a crooner (check the comments), so I guess technically this counts as #FonteFriday too...

The album Harry (Belafonte) & Lena (Horne) Faberge For the Love of Life. Yeah I realize how weird all of that sounds.
#NowSpinning: My therapist tells me that when one's emotions are all just different flavors of negative, one must manufacture joy, even though it feels forced. In this spirit I return to #FonteFriday with one of his most jubilant! (Calypso just seems wrong when it's -30 degrees.)

It’s been a couple weeks since I checked in over here but I wanted to post a little holiday music for #fontefriday with @elgringofeo.bsky.social in case you needed help finding your gateway to the weekend #nowspinning #harrybelafonte #belafontetowishyouamerrychristmas
For #fontefriday Harry is repping his California hoodie in honor of his Belafonte At The Greek Theatre double live LP from the 1963 performance in Los Angeles. What hoodie you got going today @elgringofeo.bsky.social #nowspinning #harrybelafonte #liveatthegreektheatre #sleeveface
Today's #FonteFriday entry is a #StonerSantaShoutout to all the creators out there. So thankful to you for you sharing your gifts!

Hey there record spinners. It’s #fontefriday with @elgringofeo.bsky.social and this one was in the box of “stuff to get to” with a sticky note that read “bowl” so I know this poor Harry is scratched beyond enjoyment but headed for upcycle redemption as a record bowl #themidnightspecial
The Harry Belafonte album Paradise in Gazankulu
#NowSpinning: It's #FonteFriday again, and today I'm playing one of St. Harry's later releases. It wasn't a critical success, and it wasn't a commercial success. But when you put out over 40 albums, you're bound for a miss. Love ya anyway, Har!

The Harry Belafonte album My Lord What a Mornin'
#NowSpinning: It's #fontefriday and St. Harry is here to save your souls, sinners! This is a great time to make peace with whatever deity, deities, or nefarious being(s) you align yourself with. For me, that's my main elephant Ganesha.
It's 2025, you've been 'buked & scorned!

America’s favourite budtender @elgringofeo.bsky.social always reminds us that #fontefriday is our Gateway to the Weekend.

The CD An Evening with Harry Belafonte & Friends
I had a CD player in my stereo stack, but it went bad a few years ago and I didn't give a shit because I don't have a lot of CDs. But I've been accumulating more CDs, finally time for a replacement unit. Now I can once again listen to some old favorites not available on vinyl.

Self-titled album Harry Belafonte
This #FonteFriday I want you all to remember it's not really fishing if you don't get in the water with the fish, just ask appropriately named river monster hunter Jeremy Wade.
I hope you have some crazy shit planned this weekend!
#VinylSky #Vinyl #HarryBelafonte
It’s #fontefriday with @elgringofeo.bsky.social I’m going with a Gringo approved adjacent artist, Nana Mouskouri and this French release from 1985, Ma Vérité. Surprised to find Toute La Nuit on here which you may recognize as All Through The Night from Cyndi Lauper and written by Jules Shear.
Keep spinning that legal drug we call music, my friend ... enjoy, #FonteFriday 👉🏾🔥👈🏾
Hey spinners it’s #fontefriday I found this copy of Belafonte Sings Of The Caribbean at an antique shop this week. Neither of us are of St. Harry’s vintage but host @elgringofeo.bsky.social and I both might garner looks in an antique shop. But we’re also both started weekend #nowspinning #calypso
The self-titled album Belafonte
Groovers! Once again we've arrived at #FonteFriday, and St. Harry was just informed the background for this pic is going to be lime green. I agree, Harry, uch. This was the color of the walls of my grandparents' living room.
Happy weekend, BSky!

The album Belafonte... LIVE!
#NowSpinning: Happy #FonteFriday, groovers! Of his 40-something LPs, this is my favorite of St. Harry's. That's due in large part to the Carnival Medley on side 4, it's a tour-de-force of good vibes.

The album Belafonte Sings the Blues
#NowSpinning: This #FonteFriday I'm smoking Blue Dream, so this album seemed apropos. I think this is Harry's most underregarded album, he really knocked it outta the park (per norm).
Happy weekend, BSky!

The album An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba
#NowSpinning: It's #FonteFriday again and I'm featuring a couple of people who knew a thing or two about fighting the fash. Miriam's was mainly Dutch fash (hi Elon!) in apartheid South Africa, while Harry fought our domestic 'Murican fash.
I hope you have a great weekend!

It’s #fontefriday with my pal @elgringofeo.bsky.social & found this copy of The Midnight Special in a thrift bin this week. Learned my lesson about passing it up and then not seeing it again for months. This came home! Michael Row the Boat Ashore is my fave track on this one #vinylcommunity
It’s #fontefriday your gateway to the weekend according to Kush Master @elgringofeo.bsky.social
From my parents collection. The only thing I got from them that doesn’t require therapy

Harry Belafonte's 20 Greatest Hits
#NowSpinning: Happy #FonteFriday, groovers! This afternoon I'm headed to my old stomping grounds, the arts district of Nordeast Minneapolis, for a smoke sesh with my friend and former neighbor J-Dog. She's 80 now, not sure how many of these we'll have left.

It’s a #fourforfortyfriday on #fontefriday so natch. DM with questions and @elgringofeo.bsky.social might be able to provide references. But if you’ve got a US mailing address I have a deal for you 😁
The album An Evening with Nana Mouskouri & Harry Belafonte
#NowSpinning: Here we are at another #FonteFriday and St. Harry brought a friend! Yesterday @fakenodj.net and I were talking about Nana; the seed was planted. Also waking & baking with strain Berry Blender. I'm out of sativa-dominant strains, gonna be a sleepy weekend!
