In meintjes, he writes about the
album Graceland and the implications of social collaboration. The composition, production, and the use of
language from different artists, the different styles and how they have been
combined. He also questions the degree
to which this album and musical collaborations are successful in reaching
equality between artists. He also talks about the political implications of the
album and how his work has been interpreted, criticized, or used in South
Africa and other recording companies.
Meintjes
writes about the dynamic ambiguity of the album that allows his work to be
interpreted differently among critics and audiences. Simons point in Graceland was to create a
social musical collaboration rather than a political statement. Would his music have had a larger impact on
South Africa and its state if it had taken a more direct stance in black
inequality? Or does music really act a
conduit between cultures and ideas that there is no need to take one?
