Paul Simon

During the Ziggo Dome performance in Amsterdam on July 18, 2012, Paul Simon celebrated 25 years of his landmark album 'Graceland.' Released in 1986, 'Graceland' is often credited with reinvigorating Simon’s career and bridging cultures through its blend of pop and world music. Leading up to this live recording, Simon was riding high on the success of his 2011 album 'So Beautiful or So What,' which marked his return to solo work after a notable hiatus. This concert not only showcased his deep repertoire, including beloved hits like 'You Can Call Me Al,' but also highlighted how pivotal 'Graceland' was in influencing global music trends. Simon’s collaboration with South African musicians brought fresh sounds to the mainstream, a departure that still resonates today, illustrating his innovative spirit and cultural awareness.
