    The trumpeter in the back is Hugh Masekela. He had a hit record in the U.S. and elsewhere in 1968 with the original, instrumental version of 'Grazing in the Grass.'

    The reality of the people mining diamonds and those who wear them is like night and day. This song has amazing depth.

    This has to be the most fun concert I ever saw. My parents were in their 70's at the time and they were boogieing around the living room like spring chickens. Such a cheerful vibe.

    Heyup Haps, look up the album "Rhythm Of The Saints" especially his single "Obvious Child"

    I think you got the meaning of this song perfectly and this was a great lighthearted rendition, that also reflected it perfectly. I know this song but have never seen this wonderful performance. You will never be disappointed with a Paul Simon song. A fantastic songwriter who is not afraid to tell facts about South Africa without getting too political. Good choice Jill and nice reaction HAP🥰🙋🏻‍♀

    🎶🔥🎸❤ One of my favorite Paul Simon songs!! You nailed it Hap! 😊 Yes, a song about a poor boy and rich girl, self expression and finding common ground. They didn't dance at the Ritz but at a club perhaps in Harlem!! The bassist Bakithi Kumalo is amazing and along with Paul's storytelling skills, and backup vocals by Ladysmith Black Mombazo makes for a joyous song 🎵.His Graceland and Rythym of the Saints period was an incredible time. His Born At The Right Time Tour is one of my Top concerts ever...just amazing.This couldn't have been played at a better time today...seriously!! Peace J ✌ ☮ 💕

      @HAP3SPEAKZ this was recorded in Johannesburg, South Africa and referred to as World Beat. It was recorded during a United Nations ban on South Africa, due to apartheid.

    This was in South Africa and someone posted that this was the first time blacks and whites all came together for the concert. If anyone knows about apartheid the was proof that music brings people together.

    Diamonds =South Africa. Walking blues = African American. Acknowledging the debt America owes for every form of music we have: gospel, blues, jazz, rock n roll, hip hop.

    Whenever that specific rhythm, that African sound spreads through the song, it's magical!
    Also love the back vocals' synchronicity in dancing just as in singing.

    I read he wrote this about Carrie Fisher. One of the greatest bass players here too!
    The magnificent song and dance group is Ladysmith Black Mbaze- from South Africa- where this concert was filmed. The great Hugh Masekela on trumpet.
