I first watched this video when I was 12 im 22 now and it still doesn't disappoint.

Damn. It's 2023 and listening to this still brings chills

I have seen them in Slovenia. That was one of the best concerts I have ever seen in my whole life. The audience stood up singing with them. All of the singers are pro, one by one, the choir leader is genius, they are pure music, the top of the music I guess. I know a lot of songs the way they sing, except from beat boxing of course. My dream as a singer is to be able to sing once with them on the stage in the last row, having the smallest part.

I have forgotten this amazing rendition, re-discovered it again today. Fell in love with it again.

I suggested this version to my son's chorus class. The teacher incorporated it into their list and won the regional award at the annual Disneyworld High school Chorus Honor! #SMHS

I NEVER get tired of this version - brings me to tears every single time! Brilliant!!

The sound of a rainstorm in the beginning Breathtaking

Seeing that no one has commented this for a while, I just wanted to say that this is an awesome cover of an awesome song! Kippis from Finland!

Seven years later and it STILL gives me chills!!!!! Perpetuum Jazzile has absolutely raised the bar for performing this song!!!!! Edit: 2023 and 23+ million views. 23 by ‘23. :-)

Who is still watching this in 2015 and still so blown away at how awesome it is??

A Slovenian group singing an American song about Africa. THIS... is how it could be.

I’m in 2020 rn and I still love this SO MUCH 🥺

Jerry Seinfeld is really great at laying down beats for Frodo to sing along to.

It's really cool how they made the sound of a rainstorm in the beginning!

me and my grampie used to watch this together in 2009 before he died, it's still my favourite cover. every time any version plays it's a solid reminder grampie is right here with me

Having listened to many other excellent covers of this fabulous song over the last decade, I still think this is the best. The bass percussion vocalist is outstanding!

This was the first video music my grandson ever saw, at the age of about 18 months. He was so fascinated, he watched the whole song without moving. He's three now, and it's still his favorite!

that was an extremely well simulated thunderstorm

Absolutely phenomenal. Proving once again that the human voice is the greatest instrument.

I have seen a lot of other groups trying to mimic these guys, but they can't even come close.

One of the best renditions of Toto's "Africa" I've ever seen. Check out the way they do the thunder! Amazing.

Do some people seem forget that all we are hearing is just people's voices to re-create this great song? It's pretty damn awesome. Great job

Over a decade ago I watched/heard this my first time, and well over a dozen times since. I've never heard anyone come close to the talent of this Slovenian group of stars. Just amazing. I never get tired of it! Who knew that Spiderman could sing like that?

A big thank you to you @Pertuum Jazzile because you gave me the inspiration with this song to transmit emotion to a group of autistic children during a musical awakening workshop. A fabulous moment ... ! Thank's so much.

Peter Parker over here singing when he's supposed to be GETTING ME PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN!

absolutely amazing beat boxer. he's perfectly keeping the rhythm while not getting distracted by the group.

Imagine what David Paich thinks when he watches this. It's got to be a hell of a feeling seeing these people do such a beautiful job of his song.

Anyone else notice the guy who does the beat boxing really get into it like hes actually drumming lol

The intro "thunderstorm" is simply mindblowing.

I never get tired of watching this, truly amazing. Slovenians are good and kind, and know how to have a lot of fun. And to think all this talent, and all these wonderful people, were trapped away in the former Yugoslavia.

10 years later ...still in awe

...still watching this is 2017, and still loving it! This is still the best version of the song out there. There is another popular video of a different large ensemble, but that version cannot touch THIS performance.

This blows me away everytime

I can't remember who suggested this to me 12-14 years ago... whoever you are, see, I remembered.. thank you. This is beyond awesome!

Such a stirring, masterful effort! I've watched this, like a 100 times, and it's like watching it for the first time, every time.

As you can see below. SEVEN (7) years have passed and I still had to come back to a FAVORITE. I am now 76, and the talent you show hasn't been forgotten. Thanks again.

I still remember first seeing this YEARS ago.....still incredible

Damn. It's 2017 and listening to this still brings chills.

ASTOUNDING rendition of a rain and thunderstorm! Just listen without watching...this is just people's hands, feet, and voices! The thunder is incredible!! Love you, Slovenia! Great job!!

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I just visited your beautiful country, Slovenia and now I find your amazing performance of a timeless song. Thank you for your amazingness!

Think together, work together, feel together, it is a true humanity

(Stands up and applauds!) Toto would be proud! That was absolutely amazing!

So glad I found this! Angel City Chorale did your take on this classic 80's song Africa by Toto. But no one did it better than you!!! Tears poured down my face. The heavenly vocals, all percussion being vocal based! I followed you everywhere on social media!!! Best cover ever!!!!

I first watched this video in the early days of youtube, I was probably 15 or 16. That was the first time I heard this song. I'm nearly 30 now, and when I hear the original song nowadays, I always do the "tootoo too too tootootoo paaaaah" thing and the beatboxer's drumming passage just before the chorus. This video is absolutely monumental and it brings memories of a simpler world. :') Long live Perpetuum Jazzile

That guy that is the whole percussion section is such a boss.

TU TU TU TU PA.

Man, how come I've never seen and heard about this group and it's just today? Man, this is pure talent at his best.

*_Still amazed by this wonderful, amazing group in 2021 since the first time I've seen this very same video years back._* #PerpetuumJazzile

This starts out like some weird group asmr video.

I was about 15 whenever this song came out originally and absolutely loved it then and it never gets old and it still stands hair on my neck and that's 40 years ago now! It stands the test of time for sure. The whole point of this song is not to be able to distinguish one voice from another. It's 100% blend. The beatboxing is phenomenal!!!

I cannot tell enough of my friends about this fantastic video.

Respect for the guy who set up and mixed all of those microphones!

I rarely experience goosebumps. This song managed to do so. Amazing.

This is one of the most AMAZING videos I have ever seen. I have two favorites on youtube and this is "One" of them. I have shown your video all over and I will never stop being blessed by ALL of your talents!! Thank you for blessing me with my favorite song by TOTO and making it better!!

Don't know how many times I have watched, and listened to this video, but...I love it, even better than when TOTO does it. Seeing everyone involved, and sounding so good, is Wonderful. My hat is off to all of you who took part. Thank you.

La idea de compartir con el prójimo semejante obra de arte, en un contexto de entusiasmo, alegría, bienestar y romanticismo, como el que da un recital de esta finísima categoría, hacen degustar cada detalle una y otra vez. Delicioso el final, en el que el público, tal vez sin quererlo, y sin darse cuenta, interactúa con los artistas, al ejecutar todos juntos, público y músicos, en todo el domo, la representación sonora de la lluvia. Fascinante, soberbio, colosal, y cualquier adjetivo que se intente, es poco ante tan majestuoso logro de la dirección musical, la autoría, la adaptación, y el trabajo, sobre todo el artístico, en equipo. Compartir es de rigor.

Tell all your friends! It would be great to see 20 million views! They deserve it.

I always cry watching this masterpiece

I watched it in 2009... keep coming back. My children loving now. It's a legacy ❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

This never gets old. Amazing! Special respect for the guys doing Jeff Porcaro's drums and David Paich's keyboards. :)))

The most beautiful thing I've ever heard.. I mean... This almost makes me cry. BEAUTIFUL. MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

Haven't watched this for a few years, forgot how brilliant it is. I used to show this to every class I taught at the start of every year to inspire them and show what innovation and creativity can achieve!

The best Choir of the Universum!!! Beautyfull. Thank U

Your performance of this song still makes me smile and feel happy.

Now that's how you do sound effects!

I've watched this countless times, since it posted, and it's enthralling every single time!

2024, к сожалению впервые слышу, это потрясающе! Фантастика!! ❤❤❤Браво!!

What creation the human mind has to make such beautiful music. Thank you for inspiring my children and myself and those around me. Please continue. Please.

Awesome! can't just stop watching this. repeat button up for repairs. Amazing creativity and delivery.

This song is so beautiful. I'm so glad I get to sing it in choir for our concert.

I like the laughs, smiles and self applause at the end. They KNOW they nailed it.

Wow! I'm blown away by this. The special effects ie. the rain and thunder. Genius. The best cover I've ever heard.

***** This is the kind of stuff I really enjoy when I speak of pure, unadulterated TALENT.

Croatian's second grade (2.d) from Rijeka, elementary school 'Srdoči', adores you. ;)

This was my first introduction to a cappella music, about 8 years ago. Now I am in my school’s elite a cappella choir, and hope to continue with it. Thank you so much for changing my life!!!

I LOVE this group! Found them ACCIDENTALLY!!!! Now I look everything up on them. Girl w colored red hair is GORGEOUS!!!!

just love this . watching it yet again and still finding harmonies I missed last time .just amazing.

I enjoy this more each time I watch it!! Very talented group of people!

I've been revisiting this performance for years now, and it never fails to fill my heart with joy.

Still amazing. I return here every so often to get a lift. Epic control, conducting, arrangement, talent, performance and joy!

I just have to say you are all beyond phenomenal. What a JOY you bring with every song. THANK YOU!!!

They are from Slovenia 🇸🇮 Me tooooooooooooooooo

Over 21 million views to date and over 7,000 comments. We came here today by accident after seeing another song performed. It has been here since 2009 and we didn't know. This is a masterpiece in every way and the sound quality is superb. Thanks for the sharing; best to you

This is the first song I heard from Perpetuum Jazzile several years ago and I've been a fan since.

July 2020. LOVE THIS !!!!!!!

Awsome. Two thumbs up. Bravo Slovenija.

it never gets old! even our kindergarten and first graders did it for their concert this year!

This is amazing..I thank my friend regularly for showing me this !

I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in, 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (Ah, gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Still loving it after 11 years ago!

Still the most organic version of Africa I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing.

My Tuesday has turned into Wednesday. I’m Bored enough to play “ipad”….and I found this wonderful “Africa” rendition. Lucky me. Thanks Y’all. Really really nice. Great addition to my music groups. CKN

That thunderstorm was really cool!

Los amo!!!. No me canso de escucharlos desde el 2009. Bendiciones!. Gracias!.

Our community choir will be singing this in a week. Always loved the song.

Still watching. Wish a group like this would come here to my area.

My friend sent this to me and told me to close my eyes at the beginning of the video and not open them till the singing starts... What a nice experience! This was super cool on so may levels!! 😎 👌 💯

This is my absolute favorite song they do!

I've known this song for several years and yet I still enjoy listening to it over and over again and every time when the song ends I think it's a simply amazing and perfect performance

Been looking for this specific video for maybe 12 years? FINALLY
