In case anyone else is looking for more information about the male vocal choir featured here, they're called "Ladysmith Black Mambazo" from South Africa, founded by Joseph Shabalala in 1960. As he is still leading the choir in this video, he has since passed away in 2020 at age 79. The only founding member still left in the group is Albert Mazibuko, the second man from the left. He was 64 at the time this video was shot in 2012.

Always one of my favourites from the Graceland album. Anyone who doesn't move around to this must be soulless! It's just so JOYOUS!

To know one of Botswana's legendary guitarists, Blackie Selolwane was strumming his guitar here makes me proud to be from a SADC member state. Guy we are big

Actually the bass player should be in front. Not hiding in the back. He's just excellent! I wonder how Simon found him. He was a car mechanic. Only played weekends. 🎸🎵

[@Paisley194]

what a killer bassline

[@BluePiano7]

So many of his songs have great basslines (Call Me Al, Late in the Evening etc.) When people say that Paul Simon is a great song writer they're probably mostly thinking about his lyrics, but he's a very underrated composer in terms of his music. No one else has incorporated so many different genres and musical styles (African, Brazilian, Latin, Cajun, reggae, jazz, gospel etc.) while always remaining true to themselves.

[@jakejohansen1889]

Right on bluepiano... Paul Simon is a master composer of music in many styles while maintaining originality. Jerry Garcia is another master of many genres while not sounding derivative of everything else. Garcia played folk, bluegrass, blues, rock, reggae, funk, fusion, and more while maintaining his ethos of always improvising musically & never playing a song the same way. Jerry Garcia & Paul Simon are my two favorite artists to come out of the 60's. Their musical legacies will still be appreciated many generations from now.

What a talent of an ensemble!! Only discovered this album 32 years after its release and what a gem it is! I heard 'You Can Call Me Al' on the radio over the years and loved it and the accompanying video, but 'Graceland' the album is an escape; an escape from the dire pop music dominating the air waves today!

Seen the Graceland tour here in the UK back in the 80s unbelievable show.

I remember those days. The days when South Africa was a happy place. Blacks, Coloured, Indian and White were happy to be the rainbow nation. I remember my first real Zulu friend. I was so happy to introduce him to my family. I wanted to be a gunsmith, he wanted to be a farmer. Things are no longer the same 😢
