🖤 God Bless Harry Belafonte’s life. One of courage, Art, and an unrelenting commitment to Black People everywhere Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier on Soul! (1970)

The JFREJ community mourns the loss of one of the greatest of all time - a partner in justice with a voice like no other, who modeled with unmatched grace and courage that music is a balm and solidarity is a verb. Rest in Power, Harry Belafonte. We salute you.

Definitely into this broad view!

It is so funny to me that Hans Zimmer described his Dune score as having totally original sounds and "embracing an entirely different time in a galaxy alien to us" but the score itself primarily drones, orientalist bullshit, and 50 different files labeled tribal_drum_1.aif
