Does anyone know the name of or how to get the cd of the African people that Paul Simon recorded when he was there. I am looking for the music featuring just the african people, not his recording with them. Thanks so much for any clues,

Simon recorded with many African musicians for Graceland.

Most important were Ladysmith Black Mambazo, sessions took place in London and New York, not in Africa. Several records of them without Simon are available.

The other key figure was Ray Phiri, leader of the band Stimela. Found one album "The Steamer".
