Paul Simon and Dali Tambo, founder of Artists Against Apartheid, reconcile their differences.

Paul Simon's Graceland album is one of his greatest achievements - a brilliant fusion of African rhythms and western pop which became a global phenomenon. It also proved hugely controversial, as Simon broke the UN backed cultural boycott of a country still under the grip of apartheid.

Did Paul Simon's unique collaboration with South Africa's township musicians set back the clock of South African liberation or drive it forward?
