The link below is a YouTube video featuring a 1980s pop classic. The rock band Toto scored their biggest hit with Africa in 1982. The song is instantly recognisable. But it has been reinvented.
Perpetuum Jazzile is an a Capella jazz choir from Slovenia. It’s hard to think of something further from an ‘80s rock band. But their version of Africa is arguably better than the original.
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.)

WOW!!!!!!!!!
AMAZING!!!!!
THe lightening and thunder in the beginning was fabulous!!!
The first time I saw them, I played it over and over. I just really like how they performed it. Don't go looking for some of their other songs, though. I found a BeeGees medley they did and it was ULTRA cheesey. But this one was their best!
WOW, AMAZING, FANTASTIC!! I really like this Mike! I'm glad you posted it. ;D
And so they are, thanks for the link. I loved Toto too.
