Used to live in Tampa, and season passes to Busch Gardens gave us lots of opportunity to hear their African-styled bands and singers.  Got addicted to the funky syncopation with heavy bass vocals. 

Stop it......

Once I realized this was the lifesavers commercial song people, I loved it even more.  That commercial actually made me like lifesavers more.  

 
Also, you people saying it's too repetitive aren't listening very well.  There are a few different verses that each include a number of repetitions, but no real chorus that I can tell at all.

So, did they use this same melody before Paul found them, or do they owe him some serious royalties for this one?

i keep hearing something that sounds like "cinnamon" and then i wonder "what ever happened to cinnamon life savers"

urgh, agreed. not a fan.

These guys are really great in concert. The experience is very different than just listening to a recording.

Not a fan.

This never seems to end... pfff

FFFUUUU!!!!11

Black Mambazo will always remind me of home and my childhood. My parents would put it on during parties and we'd sporadically dance to it when walking through the living room.

and the most awesome lifesavers commercial ever!

Was this the group with Paul

Oh come on.  I have heard more annoying songs on RP, but there is nothing likable or interesting about this song.  Lets keep it real.

Oh dear.  Please read some history about the South African struggle to throw off Apartheid. And listen to some old Paul Simon cds.

This is torture. But you better not say anything, the PC police will call you an asshole.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo? Like, from Mean Girls? LMAO! Had no idea that was a real band.

Well that was a little excessive.  Get defensive much?

Saw these guys on Austin City Limits.  I find the vocalizing of the lead guy, the elder, intrusive and not particularly enjoyable. I think they have great potential and to this Westerner, Simon helped bring it out.

.....and how many CD's do you have out asshole???? Hippostar wrote:
