Paul Simon's whole album Graceland is perfection.

[@AaliyahCapili]

😍😍😍

Love the fretless bass passages in this tune... just gives the tune the little something extra.

I saw Paul Simon in concert in 1991. He must've had 20 musicians with him on stage, some from Africa and Brazil. After he did this song, two drummers and a percussion player had a solo frenzy that lasted about five minutes! One of the best shows I've ever been to.
Oh, and may I add that Paul and his band played for two hours non-stop that night. No opening act, no intermission. 😊

Great writer and singer. Always enjoy his music along with Art Garfunkel. Loved the soothing vibes of the song and, as always, great reaction😊

There was an African Queen...is one side of it. Also Paul had a personal life painted into the graceland album...

Think of the diamonds as a metaphor for happiness and self-worth. He gets diamonds on the soles of his poor-boy shoes because he joins up with the "rich" girl. Rich in happiness.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

I tried putting diamonds on the soles of my shoes but I'm sad to report it brought me no happiness, I got blisters instead for my troubles.

Hi Aaliyah a great musician and the work with Art Garfunkel as Simon & Garfunkel with songs like Bridge Over Troubled Water, the Sound of Silence, Scarborough Fair, The Boxer and more and it's about, what I think, how Africans work in gold mines and are exploited because of it

[@julianhinojosa9695]

The Boxer is one of my favorites, also Red Rubber Ball.

Would LOVE if you could react to Dio's version of "Dream On". Its a phenomenal metal version of Aerosmith's song with a well known guitarist known as Ywngie Malmsteen. Ive never seen it reacted to 😂

[@fredkrissman6527]

Simon drew a LOT of criticism for going to SAfrica, which was under an international boycott due to the white govt's apartheid system, and again later for what some claimed was cultural appropriation of African music, etc.
I never bought into either of those arguments, and have always seen Simon's Graceland as a huge global achievement that has more than stood the test of time...
imo, your sweet enjoyment of this song is further proof of the power of music over politics, Aaliyah!

[@AaliyahCapili]

Thanks so much for sharing these infos, much appreciated🌺

[@AretaicGames]

Agreed. The "cultural appropriation" argument always struck me as bogus: it was one musician reaching out to and working with others, and the collaborations were not only brilliant, but made some South African performers household names in the U.S. and beyond.
Another good example of musician-to-musician connections between the U.S. and Africa is Bela Fleck's music/travelogue film, "Throw Down Your Heart".

How about reacting to some female Japanese hard Rock? Babymetal or Band-Maid, both great vocals.
