Turn the World Around

Harry Belafonte made this a pop hit in the late 70's on an album that interpreted folk songs of other cultures. The arrangement is a bright, Jamaican feel with optional Latin percussion and vocal melodic lines that weave and build throughout. A perfect inspirational and multicultural selection that sings of the earth and of life!
