Ladysmith Black Mambazo Today was a dream. I have always loved The Graceland album by Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Specifically this song ’Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes’ I found MAGICAL. You might hear my love for it on the song 85 off the last record. By an amazing coincidence of events they agreed to collaborate on a song with me. After recording the song (oh my GOD it’s so good) they just decided to make my world and sing ‘Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes’ with me. The smile

See this incredible live performance by 5x Grammy-winning Ladysmith Black Mambazo, featured in Paul Simon's album Graceland. This South African roots a cappella group has also been featured in music by Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, Sarah McLachlan, Josh Groban, Emmylou Harris, Melissa Etheridge, and many others. The group sings a traditional music style called isicathamiya (Is-Cot-A-Mee-Ya), which developed in the mines of South Africa. It was there that black workers were taken to work far away

Ladysmith Black Mambazo providing fantastic background vocals to start and end the song. The phrase “diamonds on the soles of her shoes” is full of imagery and symbolism when you consider the idea of placing something as valuable as a diamond on the part of the shoe that always touches the ground. It’s almost quite literally “walking on money” and even more so “trashing money”. The entire song becomes an allegory of when two extremes start to blend together.
