This weekend, the South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo are reuniting with the American singer, Paul Simon, to play the Graceland album in full at a concert in London. Recording the album in the mid-1980s turned the African choir into global superstars. Albert Mazimbuko, one of Ladysmith Black Mambazo's oldest singers, recalls the making of Graceland for Witness.
