They became world famous in the 1980-1990s when the group worked with Paul Simon on tour and on his album and video called ''[[Graceland]]''. Their music and performances did much to propagate indigenous performance forms in the country and internationally. The musical style they developed, also permeated much of the popular performance in the 1990s and later, including many stage plays and musicals.

 =Graceland: the play by Ellen Byron=
-The place is the front entrance of Graceland, the late Elvis Presley’s Memphis mansion, the time, five o’clock in the morning, three days before the estate is to be opened to the public. Two ardent Presley fans, Bev and Rootie, are camped out before the gates, each determined to be the first to enter the sacred precincts. Bev is a bewigged, middle-aged lady with too much make-up and a brassy down-home style; Rootie is young and shy and somewhat intimidated by the raucous Bev. Wary at first, the two soon progress from dispute to shared confidences and a growing compassion that, in the end, moves the essentially warm-hearted Bev to defer the place of honor to her waif-like and touchingly sincere rival.
