Akukho nkcazo yomsebenzi okanye incwadana ekulula ukuyisebenzisa ekhoyo malunga nendlela yokwaphula umhlaba omtsha. Intuition, ukuphuculwa kunye nethamsanqa elingaboniyo konke kubalulekile kwinkqubo. Kukho ukukhubeka okuninzi okubandakanyekileyo kwaye ngaphandle kwako nakuphi na ukuthintela okunokuthi kuthathwe ngumnxibelelanisi onomdla, abamsulwa abambalwa bahlala bebonakala betyumkile kakhulu okanye betyunyuzwe phantsi kwenkqubo.
Kudala ngaphambi kokuba kukhululwe i-albhamu yakhe ye-Grammy Award, Ilizwe , UPaul Simon wayengomnye woovulindlela bokuqala bomculo wehlabathi, uhlobo olude, kude kube yiBossa nova ngequbuliso kunye neecalypso crazes zasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-50s / early 60s, ezazinokurekhodwa kwamasimi abantu bomthonyama, ababemamele kwaye bethandwa ikakhulu izifundiswa.
Umdla kaSimon kwizandi ezingaqhelekanga zaqala ngo-1965 kukhenketho lwase-U.K., Apho waba ngumhlobo wegitala / isikhohli saseBritane. UMartin Carthy (Amanzi, uSteeleye Span) awayefunde kuye (kwaye wabelwa ngaphandle kokufaka ikhredithi) ilungiselelo lakhe elimangalisayo leScarborough Fair, ingoma ethi, enkosi Abaphumeleleyo isandi esivakalayo, safana nangoo’60.
Kwiminyaka eyalandelayo, uSimon noGarfunkel babezakukhula U-El Condor Pasa (ukuba ndinako) ekuqaleni yabhalwa ngo-1913 ngu UDaniel Alomia Robles , eguqulelwe nguSimon isuka kwiSpanish. Ngelixa abantu abaninzi babecinga ukuba uSimon ubhale iingoma ezihlabayo kunye namazwi achukumisayo, waphinda wabeka umnwe wakhe kwingoma eyaziwa ngabantu basePeru njengesihobe sesibini sesizwe. Kwilizwe lomculo olu hlobo lokuboleka lwaziwa njengesiqhelo. Kwakungeyonto intsha; UDylan ukwenze lonke ixesha (thelekisa nje eyakhe NoThixo Ngecala Lethu kunye ne-Irish ballad Umdlalo wePatriot ).
Wonke umntu uphakamisa lonke ixesha, uSimon kamva walungelelanisa nentatheli evela Umbhali wengoma waseMelika kwiphephancwadi. Yindlela umculo okhula ngayo kwaye uyilwe.

Ukukhutshwa kwecwecwe lakhe lokuqala, UPawulos Simon, NgoJanuwari, ngo-1972, watyhila impembelelo ye-reggae (isimbo esitsha noko ngelo xesha esasisele sizokugqabhuka kwihlabathi liphela) noMama noPaul Reunion kaPaul, awayeyirekhode e-Kingston, eJamaica. Okuninzi kwityala lakhe, ukusebenza kukaSimon ngelizwi kwakuphethe umkhondo nje omncinci wesimbo esosulelayo sesi siqithi, ngokungafaniyo nesithathu seebhotile zase-Bhritane ezibizwa ngokuba ngamaPolisa eza kuthi kungekudala enze i-hybrid emhlophe ehlanjiweyo ye-punk kunye ne-reggae eyayiqhubela kudumo lwehlabathi.
I-albhamu ikwaveze mna noJulio Phantsi ngeNdlu yesikolo eyakhiwe kwisigqi se-giddy yegubu elithethayo elidlalwa ngumdlali weengoma waseBrazil UAirto Moreira , owaziwa kakhulu ngomsebenzi wakhe noMiles Davis, nakwiChick Corea's Buyela kuNaphakade . Olunye uchuku olungaqhelekanga lwaluvela ngengoma kaSimon Duncan, eyayibonisa IiInca (owayekhe wajika uSimon waya kumculo waseAndes kunye noguqulelo lwabo lweEl Condor Pasa) bedlala iimbande zomthi kunye nesixhobo esincinci esincinci esinjengeyinyoni esaziwa njenge-charango, esenziwa rhoqo kwigobolondo elingenanto le-armadillo.
Ukukhawulezisa ukuya ku-1985. UPaul Simon, nangona esilele umtshato wakhe wesibini (kuCarrie Fischer) kunye nentengiso edanisayo yokukhululwa kwakhe, Iintliziyo namathambo , luvuyo lusasaza ukucula kunye nekhasethi evela eMzantsi Afrika ebizwa IiGumboots: IiHigordion Jive Hits, uMqulu II . Imvumi / umbhali wengoma ufumene intlawulo efanayo yenkuthazo evela Mbaqanga umculo (waziwa ngcono kwizitrato zaseSoweto njenge-Township Jive) njengokuba wayekhe wakhothoza kwikona yesitalato iDoo-wop.
USimon wathi kamva ekuveni kwakhe waziva engaqhelekanga kumculo, uthando olungaqondakaliyo. Kodwa akunamsebenzi nokuba uhlunguze njani umphefumlo wakhe, edlala Mbaqanga , kwimvumi emhlophe yaseMelika ngelo xesha yayingavumelekanga ukuba ibe sisiqhamo.

Ingxoxo-mpikiswano malunga nomgaqo-nkqubo woMzantsi Afrika wocalu-calulo ichaphazela uninzi lwabadlali abakhenkethi abathi ngenxa yesazela balithiya eli lizwe njengomboniso wobumbano nesininzi sabantu abamnyama abaphethwe gadalala kweli lizwe. (Ngandlela thile iiByrds ziyiphosile loo memo. Inkokeli yeqela, isigqibo esingalunganga sikaRoger McGuinn sokudlala iRhawuti sabangela ukuba ilungu labo elitsha uGram Parsons alishiye iqela-ekhuthazwa yipaliti yakhe uKeith Richards-nangona ebesandula ukurekhoda ilizwe labo Sithandwa seRodeo .)
Kungekudala uSimon wazifumana sele ekuloo mpikiswano inye. Ngelixa imvumi yomculo wepunk / umbhali wengoma / itshantliziyo UBilly Bragg noPaul Weller weJam wakhubeka ngenxa yokhetho lukaSimon lokungahoyi inkcubeko, impempe yejazz yoMzantsi Afrika Igqala kwezomculo wakhuthaza umanyano lokuyila phakathi kwabantu belizwe lakhe kunye neenkwenkwezi zaseMelika.
Ndikunye nabazobi, uSimon waqhankqalaza. Yayiyintsebenziswano phakathi kwabamnyama nabamhlophe. Kwakungekho bantu baphantsi okanye abaphathi. I-albhamu kunye nohambo olulandelayo, ngokwembono kaPaul, lwalubonisa ubume bentshutshiso.
Ishicilelwe phakathi kuka-Okthobha, 1985 kunye noJuni olandelayo, kuluhlu lwezitudiyo ezisuka eMzantsi Afrika, eNew York, L.A., eLondon zisiya eLouisiana, Ilizwe yakhutshwa ngo-Agasti 25, 1986 kwimpendulo ebambekayo.
Ingoma yesihloko sealbham (engakhange ikhutshwe njengeyodwa de kube nguNovemba olandelayo) yayijikeleza uhambo lukaSimon olusandul 'ukuqhawulwa ngumtshato kwindawo yaseMelika eya eMemphis, Tenn., Kunye nonyana wakhe omncinci, uHarper, ukutyelela iGraceland, iAntebellum-Mod Indlu yomntu ongasekhoyo, uElvis Presley omkhulu. 
Ukuphulukana nehlathi lomculo wolwabiwo lomhlaba kwi Ilizwe , USimon ubambe kwizimbo ezingafaniyo njenge-zydeco kunye ne-Afro Pop ukwenza icwecwe elingenasiphelo likhulu kakhulu kunesixa seempembelelo zalo.(Ifoto: Isikrini / i-YouTube)
Phantse iminyaka engama-20 emva kokuba imbongi eselula elahlekileyo kunye nentombazana egama linguCathy bakhwele eGreyhound bayokukhangela iMelika, kwi-1968 kaSimon noGarfunkel Iincwadi , umbhali wengoma onengqiqo wenza enye ingoma eyavusa umoya wesizukulwana sakhe. Ngo-1988 uJoe Strummer the Clash's-no-nonsense front-man uxelele Ixesha le-LA ukuba iGraceland (eyayidlala amazwi emvisiswano ngamagorha kaSimon ii-Everly Brothers) ayelungile 'njengesihlangu esiBhulu.'
Ngelixa ILadysmith Black Mambazo Amazwi akhe afaka iingoma ezinje ngeZindlu kunye neDayimani kwiiSosi zeZihlangu zakhe ezinemiphefumlo emibini yoMzantsi Afrika, amazwi kaSimon ngoku asolula ngaphaya kweentsilelo eziqhelekileyo zobudlelwane ukulungisa ukungafani okwandayo phakathi kwezityebi namahlwempu, nokuba kuseNew York , EHollywood okanye eRhawutini.
Njengengcali yezomculo / yesilayidi isiginci U-Ry Cooder , ogama lakhe lakutshanje Umculo weSikhumba seNkukhu ndibabambe esidlangalaleni abantu baseMelika Ulusu ujimenez Ukucoca ikhodiyoni yaseNorteno kunye nokuhonjiswa kwesitayile saseHawaii UGabby Pahinui , Ilizwe ikwanikeze uluhlu olubanzi lweentlobo zomculo ze-eclectic, zisasaza igama, hayi kwi-Afro Pop kuphela, kodwa inceda ekwandiseni isingqi se-ramshackle ye-zydeco accordionist yaseLouisana Rockin 'Dopsie njengokuba.
I-albhamu ye-bassist emangalisayo, Mawethu Kumalo , endandibaleka kuye kwiminyaka kamva kwikona ye-Broadway kunye ne-Houston Street, kwangoko wandibeka ngqo kumbandela wobukoloniyali bomculo ekuthiwa nguSimon. Wayengagcwaliswanga nto ngaphandle kokunconywa kunye nombulelo kuMnumzana Paul Simon, esongeza ukuba ngaphandle koncedo lukaSimon wayekholelwa ukuba ngewayengazange abe yimvumi engaziwayo phaya kwilizwe lakowabo elineengxaki eMzantsi Afrika.
UKumalo, owazisa i-funk kwi-albhamu yokuqala engatshatanga ethi Ungandibiza Al, wayeza kubakho rhoqo kwiqela lokhenketho likaSimon kunye nokwenza kunye nokurekhoda noHerbie Hancock, uMickey Hart, kunye noChaka Khan.

Ungumdlali weBass omangalisayo, utshilo u-sonic mash-up master Umsebenzi we-Mocean (uAdam Dorn) owayekade edlala i-bass ye-Chaka. Ngokubetha ibass engenabumba wenza isandi esahlukileyo kunye nelizwi eliyintsusa kwisixhobo.
Ngelishwa, iingxaki nge Ilizwe eze, hayi nolwabiwo-mali oluqondwa nguSimon lomculo wase-Afrika kodwa ngenxa yokusebenzisana kwakhe neerockers zase-East L.A. Iingcuka , Abamenyiwe ezantsi estudiyo ngobunye ubusuku ukuya jam.
Ngokwe-saxophonist yeqela, uSteve Berlin, uSimon wayengenazimvo, engenangqondo xa abalingane bakhe banikezela ngengoma entsha ababesebenza kuyo. Akukho ndlela ndiyabaxayo xa ndisithi ebe ingoma kuthi, utshilo uBerlin. Kuthiwa uSimon uthathe iiteyiphu kwiseshoni, wabhala amazwi kwingoma kwaye wakhupha ingoma njengoko Ehlabathini lonke okanye iNtsomi yeminwe kungakhankanywanga igalelo leLos Lobos ekudalweni kwayo. Emva kwexesha uSimon wathi wothukile xa umphathi wakhe efumana ileta evela kumagqwetha ebhendi athatha umba malunga neekhredithi zealbhamu engakhankanyi ngokubhalwa ngokudibeneyo.
Ngaphandle kwayo nayiphi na into eyothusayo yenkqubo yokuyila kaSimon, ubuhle be Ilizwe iyaqhubeka nokunyamezela kwiminyaka engama-30 kamva.
