That Carmen Gomes inc. would take on the challenge of reinterpreting Harry Belafonte
“Sings the Blues” was originally suggested by Harry van Dalen, owner of the eminent High
End audio shop Rhapsody.
He thought that Carmen’s band would be perfect for reinterpreting the mood and the sound
of the classic album.
Carmen immediately loved the idea.
‘’Harry Belafonte sings the Blues’’ was one of her favorite albums when she as a kid spent
countless hours listening to music and making cassette tape compilations from her parents
vast LP collection.
‘’I had a 60 minutes tape that I made consisting of my favorite songs from the Sings the
Blues albums of Harry Belafonte, Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Memphis Slim, don't forget
Memphis Slim!, and with Muddy Water’s’ ‘’Mannish Boy’’ filling out the last 3 minutes. The
tape eventually broke and got eaten by the machine, that´s how much I played it!’’ Carmen
recalls.

about

It all began with the blues.
Ask any musician based in the tradition of american popular music: no blues, no jazz.

That Carmen Gomes inc. would take on the challenge of reinterpreting Harry Belafonte “Sings the Blues” was originally suggested by Harry van Dalen, owner of the eminent High End audio shop Rhapsody.
