 | In the New York Times this morning:
"Mr. Masekela had lent crucial approval to Paul Simon's 1986 'Graceland' album, which was denounced at the time by some antiapartheid activists as a breach of the cultural boycott of South Africa; he joined Mr. Simon's 'Graceland' tour in 1987. Mr. Simon returned the favor on Friday singing two songs from 'Graceland' as reshaped by Mr. Masekela and his band, with the rhythms shifted toward jazz and Mr. Masekela's fluegelhorn answering Mr. Simon's vocals. They finished 'You Can Call Me Al' with a reprise of the train-whistle finale of 'Stimela.'"
