Welcoming Shabbat with Ein K'Eloheinu Sung by Cantor Azi Schwartz to the Banana Boat Song

Last week the Internet was full of tributes to folksinger Harry Belafonte, who died on April 25. We joined with a memory of him singing Hinei Ma Tov in London way back in 1995 with the Israel Army choir.

Last Shabbat Cantor Azi Schwartz of New York's Park Avenue Synagogue took it one step further by singing Ein K'Eloheinu to one of Belafonte's most popular songs, the Banana Boat Song.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
