TheWildHoneyPie.com “Under African Skies,” Paul SimonAfter listening to a tape of The Boyoyo Boys, a South African band that was introduced to him by Linda Ronstadt, Paul Simon was inspired to create his album, “Graceland.” The album was controversial, as Simon traveled to South Africa in 1985 to record the instrumental tracks, in direct violation of the United Nations cultural boycott of the apartheid state. “Under African Skies” focuses not on the political controversy, but on the similarities of places as disparate as Tucson, Arizona, and those in Africa. moguldom.com/76082/10-famous-songs-about-africa-by-non-african-musicians/3/
