May 15- Music

Recently, I rediscovered a great album from the dark depths of my iTunes account. A hit in the U.K. (reaching #1) and #3 in America, Paul Simon's 5xPlatinum CD Graceland is one of my favorites of all time. To date it has sold over 14 million copies. Recorded mostly in South Africa by a large group of musicians, with all very diverse backgrounds, most from around Africa, Graceland experiments with many different kinds of music and rhythms. People liked it so much, it won The Record of the Year Grammy award for 1986 and 1987. Also in 1987, Paul Simon went on a tour of African, performing the songs from Graceland. Which brings me to the daily question: Which African country did Paul Simon perform the songs from Graceland to make the movie The African Concert in 1987?








It was filmed over the course 2 concerts in Harare, Zimbabwe.
