I was driving a bus in London in 1990, it was the number 24. I was on my last run to Hampstead Heath late one night.. I had maybe 5 passengers on board. I stopped at Tottenham court road tube station just past the junction of Oxford Street.. There were about 20 black guys standing waiting for the bus, they got on for Camden Town, and they started to sing as I was pulling away from the stop, as Graceland was one of my favourite ever albums I recognised the voices immediately.. It was the African guys from the Paul Simon tour.. No mobile phones in those days, just the best memory of the best bus journey I ever did... I will never forget it.

I cut school in early 1987 to get in line outside of Radio City Music Hall to get tickets to the Graceland tour. I was number 300-something, but when I got to the ticket window, because I was only looking to buy one ticket, I got a seat in the fourth row, dead center. Simon, Ladysmith, Hugh Masekela and Mama Africa, Miriam Makeba rocked my 17 year old world. I was also high at the time, which just heightened the entire experience. I also saw them in December of 1987 at Madison Square Garden at a benefit show, so I really saw the Graceland Tour twice. It was magnificent.

I had a dream about my mom last night (she passed in '13) and she was giving away her possessions and moving. She had painted poems and large green leaves all over the walls of her apartment. I understood in the dream that she was moving to South Africa. When I awoke, trying to make sense of what I dreamed, I heard this song in my mind. She loved this song and loved this album. Thank you.

In 1993 I was traveling through east Africa in a truck with a bunch of backpackers. Late afternoon set up camp in the middle of nowhere, no one in sight for miles, and when the sun went down we put this tape on (we only had a dozen or so tapes on the truck, Graceland was one of them). Within minutes about 7 or 8 kids from 6-15 yrs old appeared from seemingly nowhere, and we all danced around the fire. One of the great memories of my life.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo is a male choral group from South Africa that sings in the vocal styles of isicathamiya and mbube. They rose to worldwide prominence as a result of singing with Paul Simon on his album, Graceland, and have won multiple awards, including four Grammy Awards. They were formed by Joseph Shabalala in 1960 and later became one of South Africa's most prolific recording artists, with their releases receiving gold and platinum disc honors. The group has now become a mobile academy, teaching people about South Africa and its culture.

It is not for any negative relation with the songs, it is just that the music moves me to such heights into an unconscious piece inside of me which simply cannot express it in words and then releases tears. And it gets astronomical heights when I see Paul Simon performing live with these fantastic South African musicians. Thank you, all musicians who contributed to the Graceland album, you unveiled a treasure to the whole world.

I had the Graceland album on cassette tape, back when I was 11 or 12. it was probably one of the big reasons I became a musician !

You know I’ve loved them since the 70s. Their look at each other during their duets is just hypnotic. They still love each other, just couldn’t live with each other.

My parents attended this concert in Harare. Such a good a time to be Zimbabwean! You can see the Zim rain storm in the background- so many great memories.

You have no idea how influential this album has been as a young and hopeful struggling musician, the lyrics/message, music, Kumalo on bass floating like a beautiful butterfly around the melodies.

When Paul Simons African Dance Music Plays It Takes Me Back To The Fondest Memories Of My Mum. She was born and raised in South Africa. She travelled to Britian at the age of 18 years old. Her both sisters met and married American Military Servicemen. My mum met my father while she worked in London before she married and settled in Toxteth Liverpool. I remember how my mother loved living in Toxteth with its vibrant community and tight-knit mixed culture of music carnival vibe. So Proud Of Our City

Came here once again after seeing the Grammy concert last night. My favorite song on the album, listened to it constantly growing up. So wish I could've seen him perform live, or Ladysmith with Joseph Shabalala!

I cried and cried when i was in the diaspora. Every time i watched this video was like i could smell the aroma of the fresh air especially after it rains and feel the sun burn my skin and hear the birds chirp, the ducks quack somewhere. Thank God you brought me back to beautiful Africa
