Awesome Choir Sings “Africa” Video

Bookmark and Share

A Note from Lynn Zalokar <lzalokar@yahoo.com>:

I happened to find this only because I overheard someone talking about a video with Slovenia and Africa. This is what I believe they were talking about...

"Slovenian choirs aren't the kind of thing I usually look for on YouTube. But when they're as brilliant as Perpetuum Jazzile, I sit up and pay attention.

This incredible vocal group from Ljubljana brings its magic to Toto's 1980s smash single, "Africa."

But the wonder starts before they've even uttered a word. The group creates a thunderstorm using their hands and feet before launching into the retro hit.

With beatboxing and seemingly a guest vocal appearance from Tobey Maguire, this is one of the happiest vids I've seen in a long time. If it doesn't leave you with a smile on your dial, then I'm a poor judge!"
