Toto's Africa like you've never heard it

[Angiekay]

I have no idea if this has ever been posted, but it is SOOOO cool!! Check it out!

This fun YouTube video features a 1980s pop classic. The rock band Toto scored their biggest hit with Africa in 1982. The song is instantly recognizable. But it has been reinvented.
Perpetuum Jazzile is an acappella jazz choir from Slovenia. It's hard to think of something further from an '80s rock band. But their version of Africa may best the original. The group has amazing voices.
But the beginning of this video is really striking. Group members simulate an African thunderstorm with their hands.
It's really something to see and hear.(Don't turn up your sound - the sound of raindrops begins really soft.)

This reminds me of that weirdo who could sound like a man and a woman singing Don't Stop Believing in alternate voices... musically talented? Without a doubt. A little too weird/campy for me? Definitely. I prefer Andy McKee's acoustic interpretation of Africa
