Nothing can compare to all the Michael Jackson songs that have swarmed the airways in the last week, but this song will always bring a smile to my face. Cruisin' in the car with my cousin Coryn, this song always played at full blast (on repeat). 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 a cappella 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.)

I don't know if I've ever told you this before, but I wrote an entire short story that kind of rotated on the loathing I have for this song.
Yay for the return of the blog! Posting soon...
