Paul Simon - The Rhythm Of The Saints LP

Paul Simon followed the international success of Graceland with The Rhythm of the Saints, an adventurous album inspired by Brazilian musical traditions and West African percussion. Complex polyrhythms provide the foundation for Simon’s sophisticated melodies and poetic storytelling.

The record features powerful contributions from Brazilian percussion ensemble Olodum alongside an extensive cast of musicians. Layered rhythms, adventurous chord progressions and atmospheric arrangements give the album a distinctive sound that moves between pop, rock and worldbeat.

Highlights such as “The Obvious Child,” “The Coast,” “Proof” and “Born at the Right Time” demonstrate Simon’s ability to combine global influences with thoughtful, personal songwriting
