That intro is the most South African you can get! Even if you hear this song for the first time in Siberia, you would know instantly that it is from South Africa!
Its actually not south African. That bassline is rhumba pioneered by the likes of franko and his TP OK jazz band and tabu ley and his rochereau band. They were all from DRC. Just listen to any of frankos songs particularly, Mario, and you'll hear the similarities.
@@TheMrgoodmanners Get your facts right! Go do some research on the Graceland album. Most of the songs were composed by South Africans, hence most of the band members are South African. For your information, this is a rearranged song, originally composed by Daniel Shirindza, from Limpopo Province of South Africa. On bass, which you’re claiming, is world renowned South African, Bakithi Khumalo.
You correct. And when you listening to it carefully, ain't different from south african bubble gum music. Songs like come duze, mama's baby, pat shange etc

Isaac ‘Mnca’ Mtshali on the drums. May his soul continue to rest in peace. King Bakithi Kumalo on Bass guitar and Ray Chikapa on lead. Only Paul Simon can bring such amazing talent together. 🔥
I remember the controversy of Mr Simon bringing LadySmith to the states and doing these songs from Graceland…. I remember how he was torn down… Graceland still my favorite and how I personally will forever remember Paul Simon… He broke the barrier, stood by it and created one of the most brilliant cds of all time
The musicianship of everyone on that stage is astounding. It’s amazing how diverse the range of instruments used are and the flexibility of each performer in using them.
In those days, backup was mostly with Black women for this of music. The range of instruments was incredible because he performed with South African musicians for the Graceland tour during aparthied. He was also involved with Miriam Makeba - Queen of Africa. Two legends - one from America and one from South Africa who was banned and fled her country.
I never knew I loved so many songs from Paul Simon’s. He is so cool in front of this crowd and his lyrics always kept me intrigued as a pre teenage girl🎸
I keep watching this concert over and over again, wish I could have been there! I wish I could have met the band, I would have asked them 2 things 1. what was the biggest thing that you learned from Paul Simon, 2, what did Paul Simon learn from you? Now that will need to wait for some time!
Great to see the familiar faces from the musicians. Thank you Paul Simon. Always creating beautiful music and meaningful songs. God Bless you and your family and also to the musicians❤
Simplemente un GIGANTE Paul Simon....y acompañados de otros GIGANTES....Tschabala y Ray Phiri (ambos QEPD), entre otros...parte importante de la banda sonora de nuestras vidas....que mas!
Avec les chansons de votre duo, Paul, vous avez merveilleusement bercé mon enfance et mon adolescence. Mais celles-ci ont été sublimées avec les morceaux de Graceland. MERCI !!!
KAOS brought me here ! That song is awesoooome
heey same hahhaha i love this song
Todo un clásico...a medida que pasa el tiempo se escucha mucho mejor...o me equivoco..
The whole Graceland album was a true masterpiece... his best...

Wouldn't 'true' SA be Zulu? Come back Johnny/SavukaJuluka. So sadly mourned
❤❤❤❤❤😂
we come and we go, that's a thing that i keep in the back of my head
People, this is called music !
Desde mi minez la escuche en Venezuela wow ha llegado lejos
Paul Simon's band members have more fun than any other musicians I've even seen!
What I love most is how Paul brought most of the singers and musicians from his original live Graceland concert in Zimbabwe in 87’.
Indeed. Well played by him.
The dynamics are amazing

Fantastico Paul Simon canzoni indimenticabili 😍👩❤💗❣
Paul is alive with respect and joy towards these artists!

Yes, they are good. But I like the more unusual off-harmonies of the original version better. Gets me every time.
RIP ray phiri. Truly a guitar legend
rest in peace bro Ray and Issac Mtshali...
Ray Phiri, Hugh Masekela and Tony Cedras passed on already. Great SA musicians. RIP.

Thank's Paul, your music is the best. I am from Cartagena-Colombia and when people listen this song, they and me are so happy.
I am from Cartagena, Colombia. Awesome music. Reminds of music from Cartagena. African music.
Colombia is a great country!
We need a concert like this after Kovid 19
I love the way Ray Phiri plays the guitar 🎸 may his soul rest in peace
He's my favourite ever!
Don’t forget BK (Bakithi Khumalo) on bass, the whole sound is so South African!
A pioneer artist doing his thing…..genuine pure love and respect he has for his fellow artists 🎉🎉🎉 I love Paul Simon soooo much ❤

Theme of much recognition especially in the Colombian Caribbean coast where it is granted as the little feet
Los sapitos.
Greetings from Colombia the place where we listen to your songs from the 80's
A true gentleman and world musician. He pulls together talent from around the world.

Amazing song. Even more amazing is how Paul fits the music to fit the words. Outstanding performance 💐❤⭐️
I think Paul Simon’s album Graceland and his work with Ladysmith is a National Treasure! But Paul is a National Treasure regardless!!!!!

Lovely performance. Paul Simon is alive. I enjoyed this song a lot and subscribed to the Channel.
Hermoso, cuando la música era tónico para los oídos
Who else noticed Paul Simon use the same back up singers , drummer, guitarist
. . . and Miriam Makeba conspicuously absent. Must be singing in the heavenly choir ! RIP the queen of South African music !
