From Kim Ruehl, About.com

Paul Simon - The Rhythm of the Saints

Warner Bros., 1990
The follow-up to Paul Simon's multi-Grammy-award-winning 1986 release Graceland saw Simon moving into more cajun and South American rhythms. This album cover features a photo of two indigenous men running, and adequately captures the spirit of this great recording. The album was a critical and commercial success, featuring great tunes like "Born at the Right Time."
