Harry Belafonte

Cerddor, actor ac ymgyrchydd Americanaidd Jamacaidd oedd Harry Belafonte (ganed Harold George Belafonte, Jr.; 1 Mawrth 1927 – 25 Ebrill 2023). Roedd yn un o'r cantorion mwyaf poblogaidd erioed, a lysenwyd yn "Frenin Calypso," am iddo boblogeiddio'r arddull cerddorol Caribïaidd hwnnw yn rhyngwladol yn y 1950au. Mae caneuon mwyaf adnabyddus Harry Belafonte yn cynnwys y "Banana Boat Song", gyda'i chytgan enwog "Day-O," ac "Island in the Sun".

Trwy gydol ei yrfa, roedd Belafonte yn ymgyrchydd amlwg dros hawliau sifil ac achosion dyngarol. Cymerodd ran yn ymgyrchoedd y Mudiad Hawliau Sifil yn yr Unol Daleithiau (UDA) i ennill hawliau sifil llawn i bobl duon y wlad ac roedd wedi beirniadu polisi tramor UDA. Bu'n feirniad amlwg o bolisïau gweinyddiaeth Bush, yn enwedig Rhyfel Irac. Un o'r dylanwadau mwyaf arno, yn gerddorol ac yn wleidyddol, oedd y canwr Paul Robeson.
