Musical style associated with Harry Belafonte (7)

I believe the answer is:

calypso

(Other definitions for calypso that I've seen before include "Odysseus was delayed by her" , "who detained Odysseus?" , "W. Indian ballad" , "Hostage-holding nymph" , "West Indian music - nymph who kept Odysseus on her island" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
