Great tribute

 

"I was informed today by a friend in South Africa that Ray Phiri had passed away. He was a beautiful, masterful guitarist and an inventive musician. He will be remembered as a patriot who used his music to fight apartheid and brought that message to the world. His contribution to 'Graceland' was immense and I am grateful and honored to have worked with him."

- Paul Simon

Ek sing ‘n liedjie sonder fancy woorde

Oor ‘n oom wat ek nooit ooit sal vergeet nie
Hierdie woorde maak ‘n prentjie
Van ‘n oom wat van sleg dinge niks wou weet nie
En as ek aan hom dink, dan word ek stil
En ek verlang weer na my vissermanvriend se pa

Koor:
As die son sak en die wind gaan le^
En die bote kies koers na die waters
Dan dink ek terug aan my vissermanvriend se pa
Met sy vellies en sy kniebroek maak hy grappies
En die waarhede op die punt van sy tong
Laat my besef hy was ‘n pa vir ons almal

 

Elke diertjie, elke voeltjie het ‘n doel in sy bestaan
Dis ook vir ‘n slegte vrou
Dis die laaste woorde
Van ‘n oom wat nooit wou afbreek maar wou bou
En as ek aan hom dink, dan word ek stil
En ek verlang weer na my vissermanvriend se pa

Its really only when you watch something like this that you realise how great Ray Phiri and Hugh Masekela really are. We take our SAfrican artists for granted and only appreciate them when they gone. 

 

Ray Phiri arranged the graceland album and gave it, its now legendary sound. Amazing talent!

studio recording is a little better, but live is always good.

 

edit ... dropped in the studio version instead, live recording quality was not so lekker
