1. Introduction: The Weight of History
When Paul Simon released Graceland in August 1986, it was immediately recognized as a watershed moment in popular music history. The album, born out of a collaboration with South African musicians such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Ray Phiri, and Bakithi Kumalo, achieved a rare synthesis of Western pop sensibilities and mbaqanga/isicathamiya rhythms. It won the Grammy for Album of the Year, sold over 16 million copies, and inadvertently launched the "World Music" marketing category in the West.
If you're a fan of Paul Simon, "Graceland", or world music in general, this remix collection is definitely worth exploring!
