Paul Simon Graceland: The African Concert (1987)

Paul Simon: Graceland: The African ConcertZimarts Day

5 May to 3 August 2012 V22 F Block

Not content with creating one of the greatest albums in the world, Paul Simon needed to do an equally great concert tour to suit. This video, filmed at the last performance in Harare, Zimbabwe (the closest they could get to South Africa in 1987) features the musicians such as Ray Phiri and Bakhiti Kumalo from the Graceland album, along with Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba join Paul Simon to produce an unforgettable event. The music and singing in the film is met with beautiful Zimbabwean scenery.
