The album is famous for featuring the cooperation of many South African musicians, thus providing a very African atmosphere and giving those musicians the ColbertBump. However, that same cooperation ended up attracting significant amounts of controversy for Simon, as it meant that he was visiting and operating in South Africa during a time when the United Nations had instituted a cultural embargo against the country, with artists being encouraged to avoid visiting in protest towards Apartheid.

Removed Unfortunate Implications

Simon's visit to South Africa was seen as a defiance of this popularly-supported boycott, with the UnfortunateImplications behind it being something that Simon would end up spending the rest of his career adamantly refuting. Simon additionally drew criticism from African-American groups in the United States for what they perceived as [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy cultural appropriation]], despite Simon actively working with South African artists to provide a proper and authentic representation of their culture.
