Luis ALVARADO - la recolte des bananes
Jose Luis Alvarado Namoyori est un peintre contemporain nicaraguayen. Ses compositions naïves d'inspiration pointilliste représentent des scènes de la vie quotidienne au Nicaragua, notamment des paysages ruraux et urbains, des volcans, des trains et des marchés. Son utilisation d'une variété de couleurs bien établies et une vision idéalisée de la réalité rendent son style facilement reconnaissable.

Illustration musicale: Harry BELAFONTE - Day O (banana boat song)
Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) est un mento populaire jamaïcain. C'est un chant de travail évoquant des dockers chargeant de nuit des bananes sur un bateau. Le jour arrive, le travail est terminé et les hommes veulent que les comptes soient faits pour pouvoir rentrer chez eux.

Day-o, day-o Daylight come and we want go home
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
Daylight come and we want go home

Work all night on a drink of rum (Daylight come and we want go home)
Stack banana 'til the morning come (Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana (Daylight come and we want go home) (bis)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch (Daylight come and we want go home) (bis)

Day, is a day-o (Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o (Daylight come and we want go home)

A beautiful bunch of ripe banana (Daylight come and we want go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula (Daylight come and we want go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch (Daylight come and we want go home) (bis)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch (Daylight come and we want go home) (bis)

Day, is a day-o (Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o (Daylight come and we want go home)

Come Mister tally man, tally me banana (Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana (Daylight come and we want go home)

Day-o, day-o (Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o (Daylight come and we want go home)
