Lyrics:
(a-wa) O kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange
(a-wa a-wa) Si-bona kwenze ka kanjani
(a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza
She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing Ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Thank you Paul Simon for getting everyone together and create masterpieces like these. Respect to bass guitarist Bakithi Khumalo
RIP Vincent Nguini as well
Rip charlie watts
Don't forget Tau Ea Matsekha from Lesotho who provided the intro for The Boy in the Bubble.
Respect brother 🤟
The drummer, Mr Issac Mtshali "Bro Mnca", also passed on.
Watching this in 2022. That entire Graceland album is Paul Simon's masterpiece. What a treasure.
❤❤ amazing xx
It's my favorite album of all time.
Total treasure! Also watching and singing along November 2022!
You got that right honey child.
Dancing in 2023 to the tunes of Graceland. Contagiously Happy Music! Hats off and a deep bow to all those legends who gifted humanity with these exquisitely beautiful harmonies.
It's the tightest most relaxed band on the planet
So true. They make it look effortless. They’re all great.
You defined genius perfectly here
Unbelievable good, crazy! 😁
You can be anywhere in the world, but when you hear that base style, you’re know where the music is from. South African jazz is distinctive.
The Bass is Amazing! As are the other musicians.
What about d tootsies.
And don't forget to mention that dance move of the Lady Smith Black Mambazo, very impressive.
Who is here 2021 appreciating the great music.
I am ❤️
Absolutely love this!!
And the great crowd all packed together

Ray Chikapa Phiri on guitar
I had to go watch the Graceland Harare concert again, and realized same guys who featured on instruments then, are still the ones playing instruments in this concert. Quite impressive
Rip Ray Phiri lead guitarists and black mambazo founder and lead singer Dr Joseph Shabalala..
Thnx for the memories 😍♥️
rip
Oh nooo... Ray Phiri passed away? That's reslly sad. He was in the original African concert.
Evergreen
Lead Drummer also passed away last year, Mnca Mtshali
@@MlandoMvubu Yes, sad. May he Rest In Peace.
THIS RIGHT HERE BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES, UNITY , TOGETHERNESS, AND HARMONY IN MUSIC , WHY CANT LIFE JUST BE LIKE THIS
LOVE..why do you and I cry when we hear this song? Because it fills us with a sense of HOPE.
...WHY CAN'T LIFE BE JUST LIKE THIS? Not everyone can afford Diamonds...But being able to stand side by side with people from different nations and sing and dance together I pray for ANOTHER day ...I cry PEACE
Titus Bomber , look at their faces, that massive crowd. No one wants to hurt anyone, they are all so happy to be there, to be in this great, great music. What a great gift to the world, music like this! Thank you, Mr. Simon.
@@ladybirdmclean0987 Yes, wht can't it.........Attend the concert in Hyde Park - a memory of a lifetime
@@aasbjrnpalshaugen5179 Blessed
When we get rid of the globelists we'll have a ball 😊 Queen E rules the cool she wants rid of them as well 😂😂 Trump 2020 America
I'm literally watching this for the first time. Wow it's crazy to see our south African artists being appreciated like this abroad, more than here at home even. Wow
Paul Simon collaborated with Ladysmith Black Mambazo and many other South African artists to create the album Graceland, which showcased black South African music during the height of Apartheid. And, well, the music is really good.
@@janmelantu7490 I really has got the best out of their talents.
😂🎉
After all these years, this 80's song never runs old to me....listened to it as a child, still listening to it now...2022 😊😍😍🇰🇪
me to from Holland Europe
Yes for sure the greatest song's
The best forever from NewZealand
Listening in July 2022 & from when I first heard this song back in the 80's, it seems to get better with age.
Like a very fine wine.
Listened to it when my kids were “kids”. Music never dies!!
Dude...wha? The first time I heard this was on SNL or Stephen Colbert or something. Like, when Obama was still president or something? I've been deprived!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this doesn't put a smile on your face, I don't know what will. Love it! 🙌
I get what you're saying, but for me, the beauty and happiness of the performers is so overwhelming, it brings tears.
@@brmbkl hy
I'm here in 2023 jamming the song as a Nigerian born in Nigeria
Music is a universal language, any time I listens to this song it gives me goosebumps and nostalgic feelings.
What a CLASSIC!
RIP Joseph Shabalala, I feel incredibly lucky I was able to see you perform at this show
RIP Joseph Mshengu Tshabalala, what a legend great performer.
@@zenzohlaseka4720 Was
I feel so lucky to have seen him. He brought so much light.
Ditto
This music belongs in a pharmacy because oh Lord it brings healing to souls.
How do African guitarists manage to make that wonderful ringing sound from their guitars? Love it!! I'm so grateful for paul Simon for bringing these wonderful musicians into the limelight!!!
They make me suitably sick with jealousy.
soweto haze
🎵 playin' a guitar like ringin' a bell 🎵
That's what I call a concert... Not this S H I T of Dababy.
Add tuku from zim to that
That bass guitarist is going to heaven
he's going to live forever!
My GoodNesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Bakithi Kumalo, living legend right there
Wow Ray Phiri was enjoying the lead guitar . RIP Stimela
I hardly even saw the bass player - he was in the background and never seemed especially overjoyed. Did you maybe mean the guy with the gold guitar? (Not a bass.)
incredible how this song and these performers still hold up after all these years! it's a pretty good testament to their talent
Thinking the same thing; it's still fresh and Simon doesn't seem to age much either.
Still Crazy after all these years ;)
his voice didn't change much at all

Paul simon biography
perhaps she understood what Paul was talking about😄diamonds on the soles of her shoe
The argument that Paul Simon was exploiting African culture was a
precursor to the "Woke-movement". What was intended to bond and unite
was taken by negative people who only could see their own point of view.
I see so much love in this video, it's breathtaking!
He wasn't exploiting African culture, he was embracing it 💗
That very spirit of criticism, jealousy & negativity you have nailed it right there - thank you!
NIGERIAN princes are jealous.
“Wokeness” is a false, undefinable pseudo-concept dreamed up by MAGA right-wingers who need an object of hate to rally around, and feel righteous about.
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.
A mate of mines dad painted some album covers for them
Thanks for giving brief history I do appreciate
Toll ❤danke für die schöne aber auch traurige Info..😢..aber das ist die geschichte und der Lauf des Lebens..
What can be said....THANK YOU GOD FOR PAUL SIMON!!!!!
Y E S !!!
Amen to that!!!!!
@Samuel Lawrence Wot about the tail'd dude? 😈
Not only Paul but the African artists too
Night Hiker ooiii
What tasteful, smooth bass playing by Bakithi Kumalo! Such a legendary bassline! ❤️
❤️
That man is a legend.
Just amazing!
Absolutely agree! But no image of his fingers on this video 👿
Bakithi Khumalo, hayi baba uyashaya, baba Mshengu, aMambazo amnyama!
Paul Simon has brought us soooo much wonderful, and, forever music! Paul, thank you for everything you've given us and future generations!
Respect to this bassist.
His name's Bakithi kumalo
@@Zlatan246 thanks man
Ilekroć Ich słyszę, zawsze wracam pamięcią do mojego śp. Rysieńka. ❤️
Graceland was Paul's Masterpiece. He is in charge, an unwavering perfectionist in his lyrics and his percussion. All arrangements by Paul Simon as well. He is a master of his craft.
My understanding is that late great guitarist Ray Phiri was the musical director and did the arranging for the South African musicians.
Ruthie....This sound here is totally African. You can't take away all that beauty in the composition and pretend as if it's P Simon who put up all that single handedly
U guys r good
@@nathanrelles2503 They worked together on it. Paul has talked about how he would give Ray an idea and Ray would take it and improve it and blow his mind.
@@karaninamunyu6072 1000000% African. Taking nothing away from the mastery of Paul's lyrics and melodies. But the Mbaqanga and other rhythms would never be present without Ray, Bakithi and the others.
Growing up in Ghana this song played in our house everyday, it’s weird sitting in my house in the US listening to this song and finally realizing it was a Paul Simon song all along.
RIP Joseph Shabalala. The most beautiful and powerful voice of South Africa. His son took over of the Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Such an amazing voice. I had the pleasure of hearing him perform live. Captivating.
@@josephtravers2002 fantastican you are lucky, I have been living in South africa for so many years, I've never had the chance to see him perform. Respect.
his music is timeless, one of the best song writers of all time. hope you dont grow older 😉
The man is a composer of music.
@@patsavage1245 He's one of the greatest songwriters and lyricists of the last century.
Goosebumbs, tears in my eyes. Thanks for all Mr. Simon 🙂
This was extremely nostalgic 😍 I remember watching the Graceland concert repeatedly with my late father way back when. This particular brought back loads of memories. Thank you Paul for gathering this great souls and creating this evergreen masterpiece. Loads of love from pH Nigeria 💚💛♥️💝💝❤️♥️💛💚💛💚♥️💚💛
Same here
How this song got to Nigeria I still don’t know in the early 2000’s
I never get tired of this!! Absolutely a classic.
I think this is as close to heaven as you can get on earth.
I imagine that when my time comes and you enter the kingdom, people of all colors are singing and dancing in abundant joy to incredible music.
TOTALLY AGREE
Now that would be such. Welcome
These Beautiful People Rhythm run through there blood
Music to feed the soul .
You cannot help smile along with these wonderful people
And The Timeless Paul Simon ♥️🇬🇧🏴
Amen!
Thank you...God bless you sir. I’m crying right now cos I can’t help it.
We missed the original 1987 Graceland gig in Harare by a week, so getting to see the Hyde park gig was like a dream. Ladysmith stole the show again... Just pure raw magic. I wept.
I saw the concert on TV in 87 while I was in Texas. I had the chance to see Paul Simon a few times when back in Germany. And the great Miriam Makeba ❤
Have Covid, and slept all day..woke up and listened to all of your beautiful talents..feel MUCH better. It is amazing how your music can heal the soul. Thank you, Paul..all of you.. for your wonderful concert. I have "Diamonds on my Shoes" now, and am up dancing. :)
Have Covid listening to the jam
@@voscowbinder9458 I know what you mean, Voscow...that is all I have the energy to do is listen to some good tunes. lol...get better soon :)
Been there fin, me and my mother both had COVID several months ago. My mother almost didn't make it, didn't think I would a few times either. And your right, both sound waves, and music, do heal. Btw go look up healing music on UA-cam here, most, if not all of it, work. Especially for fighting bacterial, and fungal infections of every kind. Hope all is well now, God bless, and take care
Such discipline, such beautiful harmonies. What would my life be without music.
I know the feeling! I could live without music...but wouldn't want too
Sounds of Africaaaaa...... Music never dies and a great sound forever remains in the heart of people. I can't stop dancing.
braa Ray phiri on lead guitar remind our own stiger solar in botswana.i wish one-day Paul Simon can invite him
Give you heart wings and don't stop ......... ever.
noooo...nunca muere....menos la musica africana!
QUAMI ACHEAMPONG True it moves your Soul!❤️🌅💕

As someone else said: Graceland is an absolute TREASURE and I love this song. I always have to dance gleefully to it.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Hey 👋there
Are you also one of my music entertainment fans out there?
@@davidmoore2325ciao david! 🙋♀️😘💘🍀
I love how Paul decides to add in 8 bars and cue the acappella group for choreographic presentation at 3:20. What a wise and inspired performance decision! 🤩
this literally makes me so happy, and all their voices are still as pure as they were when graceland was first released, love it, love love love it
A love you azil le bruiteur vocal akindouch abdallah code secret professionnel allah zeprexa abilify 28 12 1970 ❤yttggf
2021 and the sheer magic of the song and beat vibrates through the being of ones soul. Paul Simon and his band is and will be respected for all time !!
Love Paul Simon, He is simply Fantastic. 👌
The best Album ever made
Extraordinary. I was privileged to see Paul Simon in concert in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
I remember feeling the full range of my emotions. The man and his music brought me to tears of joy.
I believe the Paul Simon Canon will still be relevant for generations.
Stop showing off 😮❤😂
In music rules ❤
I just want to pass on my condolences to Paul Simon, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and the family of Mr. Joseph Shabalala who passed away on February 11th, 2020. Thank you Mr. Shabalala for your music that we were so fortunate to hear.
Will life ever be this fun, ever again?
Is this already, nostalgia?
God help us.
This song makes me so happy! Serious I smile from start to finish.. Smiling right now!
what a killer bassline
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.
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.
Vincent Nguini (a Cameroonian) was the bass player...rip
@@ferdijunifoums6538 Actually it's Bakithi Kumalo from South Africa
@@ferdijunifoums6538 vincent nguini is the other guitarist, bakhiti kumhalo is the bassist
love this guy has remained true to his friends and they to him after all these years, love the soundz
What a pure heart and clean spirit. Love is the glue. Honor to PS. He found Ancestral Favors. Blessings on them all.
Ma'at
Good music never dies, well done to the entire crew.
Ahh yes!! The great old days when people could attend a live concert such as this!
Thank you guys. I saw all your comments from 2021. Still jamming to this classic as we close 2023. My condolences to everyone that has lost loved ones. ❤.
Like the way he interacts with other cultures to make good music.
Simon le magnifique ! Ladysmith Black Mamabazo are aboslutely stunning, this song is probably one of my favorite of all time, the bass the drum the everything is perfect ! Love from South Africa :-)
All the way from South Africa,so much lv for them
I love Paul Simon music, I mean all of his music, and he is a legend.
I mean " every
body knows what i was talking about"
I'm still here in 2023... appreciating Great Music, love you Paul....!!!!🥰😍😍🥲😋😋😋😍😍😍😋😋😋😋😇😇😘😘🤩😘😘😘🥰
For us dear Paul you're a constant inspiration! Thanks for this song and for everything you wrote!!
Sakeraway
Wow, this suddenly gets me. I've been in South Africa for six months and now, years later, I realize how I miss those days. Such an amazing song!!
Remember seeing Paul Simon intro LBM at live concert in new an Orleans. Smallish venue. I had great seats up front. Was so overwhelmed by LBM. Love love the Graceland cd. Fighting back tears (unsuccessfully). Amazing wonderful memories. Thank you Paul
For exposing the world to this fantastic group. Wish I could remember the year of the concert. But I Tver if like it was yesterday and I ring remember a lot of concerts. 🥰
It. Means, Women stop hiding how brilliant and brave and caring people beautiful you are. J. Xxxxxxxx 💖❤️🦊
Wow! this performance is superb. I can't stop listening to any version of this song.
Listening right here in 2019 from Sierra Leone
.
I am listening to his music in Ireland. Have a good life Ibrahim. God bless you.
@@owendureke5148 Yeah Owen, thanks and God bless you too. Sound too good
this is what I call music not the nonsense crab we have been hearing lately
While Bakithi Kumalo, the finest bass player on the planet, stands quietly at the back making magic......
y por eso kumalo es fundamental....grande Bakithi!!!
and Hugh Masekela, and Ray Phiri, amazing - all artists in the original concert.
So true.
It is like a Magical Bass🙂
There is Ugandan Sammy Kasule plays the bass guitar as well. Same class.
It still blows my mind that someone can have the creative juice to manifest this kind of thing. Formidable!
Paul Simon is Gods gift to mankind
God bless you shabalala and simon for that big song in God we trust forever
the woman at 11seconds represents all of us when we hear this song!
I saw that too. Great comment and God bless.
PAUL SIMON,TRULY LEGEND.
I dont think words can say how much this and the rest of paul simons music means to me
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.
@@mrjasondylan me too .saw paul simon and the others when they were on uk graceland tour.needless to say it was incredible
Africa will always love Paul Simon, what a great concert. The concert is full life, no race card played, we are all brothers and sisters enjoying the universal language which is music.
Great words!
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!
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Hey 👋there
Are you also one of my music entertainment fans out there?
@@PaulSimonpvt-fc I don't think so, as is that something different?
Timeless. The perfection of Paul Simons music is amazing. He always got the best musicians too.
Ray Phiri the legend. Tears in my eyes. Beautiful sounds of home and good memories
Brilliant in 2019 Eddie the bear Capetown 11pm
Corona is going but we are luky thiri's liké Paul Simone make us happy.
I like the entire song especially that bass. 💍 💎
One of the best songs from one of the best albums EVER
I was there! What a pleasure to see these guys live!
Wow lucky you
Yes, lucky you!👍👍
the closest i think i ever got to a true transcendent experience at a concert was seeing Paul on the Graceland Tour at Meriwether Post Pavilion in Maryland. Ladysmith Black Mombazo were mesmerizing, Hugh Masakela and Miriam Mikeba sounded like heaven on Earth.
I felt lucky to be there. I've never forgotten the feeling of love and togetherness in that crowd.
Paul Simon. Genius.
That bass line! Brilliant song.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Hey 👋there
Are you also one of my music entertainment fans out there?
I can’t believe I didn’t travel all the way to be part of this live.
What a remake of the pre-democratic version. Awesome!!!! Please South Africa say no to racism and xenophobia.
And to xenophobia too
I remember watching and listening to this great act for the first time in 1989 televised on our local tv station in Africa at that time I stayed awake all night to watch it to the end,honestly it was a great experience and I have never stop re-playing it back to back.
I will never get tired of this song- love it!!
Hey 👋there
Are you also one of my music entertainment fans out there?
Magnificent
Tears in my eyes watching this. Amazing.
I saw them in Central Park NYC Simon and Garfunkel it was awesome
Paul is wonderful for bringing great talent to the rest of the world!
Beautiful African voice with PS God bless you all , such a song gives me easy feeling
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
Thank you Mr Paul Simon to put our African music into world map.It has never been underrated.
This song shouldn’t work and yet it does in a pop context! Brilliant how Simon brought this music to the publics attention. Wonderful when they find the right notes it rings out like a Bell! Thanks!
Oh Lord of all creation...Now these Awesome singers are your creation and for that....... we are foreverr grateful....I Love the B.Mambazo
So glad he still got it...Oh my childhood!😍😍😍
As empty as a pocket with nothing to lose. A little gem (intended) tossed into this masterpiece.
With this record, Simon influenced the liberation of South Africa
the quality sound, the clarity of it all, signature Simon
such wondrously clean distinctive so awesomely detailed bass
Take me back to my child hood ... Beautiful music
when must and Love come together ..perfect music perfect feelings .
That time we didn't have aTV set in our home so we would go and watch from our neighbour ..they had a video cassette for Paul Simon and black mambazo. Those good old days 🥰🥰
