With this piano tutorial & sheet music, you can play "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" on piano!

It's an accurate, carefully created piano arrangement of the famous recording by Harry Belafonte (in the original key of F# major).
If you find all those black keys a bit too challenging, you can also get the same arrangement transposed by one half step (from F# major to G major) - check the links above!

Originally a Jamaican folk song (with traditional mento and calypso elements), Harry Belafonte turned it into his signature song and worldwide hit when he recorded it in 1956.

"Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" makes for a wonderful piano cover!
