With Graceland, Paul Simon combines his genius songwriting with the little-heard mbaqanga music of South Africa, creating an incredible hybrid that re-enchanted his old audience and earned him a new one. This is one of the great musical journeys of the 20th century. But it wasn’t without its fair share of controversy. This week on (Untitled), Ezra and Uma take on Paul Simon’s magnum opus.
