And to think, TOTO actually questioned if this song would even chart due to its unusual tone and sound. Today, it's one of the most recognized songs in music history. Thanks guys for never doubting yourselves
One of the best feel good songs ever.....so uplifting....older now and just love the song. Wife and I going to many concerts now we are retired. Brings us back to better times when life was simple.
I must have been 10 years old when that song came out,and I loved it so much that I knew that Africa would play a big role in my life....have been in Africa for one year (over the years),met my wife there,I even met the president of her country for he knew I was taking good care of his grandkids...
The thing that amazes me, is the caliber of musicians, ( like the who's who of classic rock ) that played at one time or another with Toto. So incredible..
I love shows where the crowd becomes a major part of the show Toto made that happen When people ask how was the show? we said we were more than awesome or we were incredible
Espectacular, inmediatamente mis recuerdos me trasladaron a mediados de los años 80's cuando estaba en la academia para postular a la Universidad. Guau que tiempos aquellos, mis años maravillosos y con la música de Toto sonando en la radio y la tele, lo máximo.
This is my parents time, but i grew up with songs of TOTO,.. Now im 50 years old, i feel so great hear and see them again,. Thanks to the uploader,.. 🙏💖🎶🥁
Lagu yang memiliki kenangan manis pada masa awal remajaku... Saat itu berada di pelabuhan Kota Baubau sambil melihat laut serta kapal2 tradisional dan kapal besi modern... Masa lalu yang penuh kenangan.... lagu ini menjadi penanda akan kenangan tersebut
Eu wueria ter o prazer em ver um show do Toto e ao mesmo tempo estar em um show desses atuais de hoje como o tal sertanejo universitário só para ver quem tem mais público
Shannon Forrest has the ‘Jeff’ vibe definitely going on!! You’d close your eyes and you’d think it’s Jeff. That’s how close Shannon comes to Jeff’s groove…. And he’s playing a drum set Jeff would have played…
Africa (Afrique) I hear the drums echoing tonight J'entends l'écho des tambours ce soir But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation Mais elle n'entend que les chuchotements d'une petite conversation She's coming in 12 : 30 flight Elle arrive dans le vol de 12 : 30 The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation Les ailes du clair de lune reflètent les étoiles qui me guident vers le salut I stopped an old man along the way, J'ai arrêté un vieil homme en chemin Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies. En espérant retrouver de vieux mots oubliés ou d'anciennes mélodies He turned to me as if to say, Il s'est retourné vers moi comme pour me dire Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you. ' Dépêche-toi, c'est là pour toi (Chorus) (Refrain) It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you Il faudrait être fort pour arriver à m'éloigner de toi There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do Il n’y a rien qu’une centaine d'hommes ou plus ne pourraient faire I bless the rains down in Africa Je bénis les pluies qui tombent sur l'Afrique Gonna take some time to do the things we never had Il faudra du temps pour faire les choses que nous n'avons jamais eues The wild dogs cry out in the night Les chiens sauvages hurlent dans la nuit As they grow restless longing for some solitary company Comme ils grandissent agités, recherchant désespérément un compagnon solitaire I know that I must do what's right Je sais que je dois faire ce qui est bien As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti Aussi sûr que le Kilimanjaro s'élève tel Olympe au-dessus du Serangetti. I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become Je tente de guérir ce qu'il y a profondément, effrayé par cette chose que je suis devenu (Chorus) (Refrain) (Instrumental break) (instrumental) Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you Dépêche-toi, Elle t'attend It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you Il faudrait être fort pour arriver à m'éloigner de toi There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do Il n’y a rien qu’une centaine d'hommes ou plus ne pourraient faire I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa Je bénis les pluies qui tombent sur l'Afrique, j'ai vu plusieurs pluies tomber sur l'Afrique I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa Je bénis les pluies qui tombent sur l'Afrique, j'ai vu plusieurs pluies tomber sur l'Afrique I bless the rains down in Africa Je bénis les pluies qui tombent sur l'Afrique Gonna take some time to do the things we never had Il faudra du temps pour faire les choses que nous n'avons jamais eues
El Toto de Simón Philips me gusta más, pero ésta versión es realmente imponente y las percusiones le dan un toque más que innovador! Excelente sinceramente 👏👏👏👏👏
One of the greatest pop/rock tunes ever written by a great great band.

Congratulations from Brazil !
Me too. Now I trade blood diamonds from Guinea
The thing that amazes me, is the caliber of musicians, ( like the who's who of classic rock ) that played at one time or another with Toto. So incredible..
One of the very few songs you NEVER get tired of listening to!!!!
IKR! Never gets old!
Almost 60 years….They still sound terrific!
I totally agree
One of the best songs worldwide . Thanks Toto .😎😀
The best song ever written.
Toprok😊
Kilimanjaro...good lyric.
I love shows where the crowd becomes a major part of the show
Toto made that happen
When people ask how was the show? we said we were more than awesome or we were incredible

Top 10 song of all time. Can not turn the car off if this song is playing.
Yep..makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck listening to it!
The 80s were brilliant times
This is my parents time, but i grew up with songs of TOTO,.. Now im 50 years old, i feel so great hear and see them again,. Thanks to the uploader,.. 🙏💖🎶🥁
The seventies and eighties music is still the best.
By a looong way!

Africa is a eternal super song from the great TOTO
Masterpiece of ToTo...
Amazing performance after all these years! One of my favorite bands 🎵 ❤
Beautiful and timeless song!!
Always one of my favorites and always will be !! As good as it comes imho
The song is great, but the organ in this interlude is wonderful, reminding me of pink flamingos flying by!
Incredible performance.

Имеется ввиду Тото Кутуньо?
Beyond Masterpiece!!! bring it!!
I've met that old man down the way,and I listened to him

Great sound echoes through the earth.
Se los extraña, a Simón Philips en batería y Mike Porcaro en el bajo 😢.
Absolutely PERFECT!
Love IT ! Iconic !!! Defying time and years ...Absolute superbe melody!!!
Best version of Africa I’ve watched.
Yep..brilliant
Lagu yang memiliki kenangan manis pada masa awal remajaku... Saat itu berada di pelabuhan Kota Baubau sambil melihat laut serta kapal2 tradisional dan kapal besi modern... Masa lalu yang penuh kenangan.... lagu ini menjadi penanda akan kenangan tersebut
Awesome performance of a great song

Excelente
ther music never die in my hart...........🌍
One of my favorites ever. Up there like Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car"
Exactly❤❤❤
Comercial interruptions in the middle of a song? Very bad creator's decision...
I agree. I mean, really?
The creator does not determine commercials. RUclips does.
Totally agree!!
Yep. It’s a RUclips thing. I have YT premium and no interruptions.
PAY THE MONEY for Premium and they won’t see any commercials!
Total!!!!@Los que llevamos la MUSICA! Dentro nuestro@ Felices@Viva La MUSICA🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷😊❤
...is beautiful... me quede sin palabras...bravo, simplemente bravo....!
There’s more “music” being played in this song than most modern albums
Talent. True Musicians.
Best version ever
Certainly the best version I've ever heard. ❤
😅@@jacquismith3277
What other “version”?
It’s THE version, folks. TOTO•LIVE in their extended, creative form of their 1982 hit song.
AFRICA FOREVER💓❤️
Toto inesquecível , saudades ❤ .Brasil

Shannon Forrest has the ‘Jeff’ vibe definitely going on!! You’d close your eyes and you’d think it’s Jeff. That’s how close Shannon comes to Jeff’s groove…. And he’s playing a drum set Jeff would have played…

Africa
(Afrique)
I hear the drums echoing tonight
J'entends l'écho des tambours ce soir
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
Mais elle n'entend que les chuchotements d'une petite conversation
She's coming in 12 : 30 flight
Elle arrive dans le vol de 12 : 30
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
Les ailes du clair de lune reflètent les étoiles qui me guident vers le salut
I stopped an old man along the way,
J'ai arrêté un vieil homme en chemin
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies.
En espérant retrouver de vieux mots oubliés ou d'anciennes mélodies
He turned to me as if to say,
Il s'est retourné vers moi comme pour me dire
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you. '
Dépêche-toi, c'est là pour toi
(Chorus)
(Refrain)
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Il faudrait être fort pour arriver à m'éloigner de toi
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Il n’y a rien qu’une centaine d'hommes ou plus ne pourraient faire
I bless the rains down in Africa
Je bénis les pluies qui tombent sur l'Afrique
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Il faudra du temps pour faire les choses que nous n'avons jamais eues
The wild dogs cry out in the night
Les chiens sauvages hurlent dans la nuit
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
Comme ils grandissent agités, recherchant désespérément un compagnon solitaire
I know that I must do what's right
Je sais que je dois faire ce qui est bien
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti
Aussi sûr que le Kilimanjaro s'élève tel Olympe au-dessus du Serangetti.
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
Je tente de guérir ce qu'il y a profondément, effrayé par cette chose que je suis devenu
(Chorus)
(Refrain)
(Instrumental break)
(instrumental)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
Dépêche-toi, Elle t'attend
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Il faudrait être fort pour arriver à m'éloigner de toi
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Il n’y a rien qu’une centaine d'hommes ou plus ne pourraient faire
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
Je bénis les pluies qui tombent sur l'Afrique, j'ai vu plusieurs pluies tomber sur l'Afrique
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
Je bénis les pluies qui tombent sur l'Afrique, j'ai vu plusieurs pluies tomber sur l'Afrique
I bless the rains down in Africa
Je bénis les pluies qui tombent sur l'Afrique
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Il faudra du temps pour faire les choses que nous n'avons jamais eues
Muito bom, Setembro 2024😊😊
