Simon and the members of Ladysmith Black Mambazo performed on Saturday Night Live and appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone. It generated three hit singles and it kept Paul Simon and the Graceland tour on the road for five years. Its music was heard across the globe. Today, its music and its reputation still reach generations of music enthusiasts yet so many are unaware of how pivotal that one album was during the 1980s, how it helped birth the idea of World Music and revived the career of one of America's most important songwriters. How it influenced the political progress of South Africa a country divided by institutionalized racism, causing and then transcending years of controversy. How in fact the album came to be in the first place. This deluxe box set (2 CD + 2 DVD) celebrates the 25th anniversary of Graceland with bonus tracks, concert footage and video clips, the documentary film (Under African Skies), a deluxe book featuring unreleased photos, new liner notes and a replica of Paul Simon’s handwritten lyrics pad.
