Great and exotic song for the continent of the mysterious and graceful Africa . Whatever the meaning is. Wilbur Smith 's " Rage " is my favourite book . A North Rhodesia borned one.
My ex wife used to call me "Toto Head"...notice I said EX wife. If you don't like this, you ain't in my camp. EPITOME of a great song by great musicians
One of the greatest bands ever.. each member of toto played on more then 5000 albums combined. Form Barbara Streisand to steely Dan. Michael Jackson’s “thriller, Lionel richie, too much to tell you now! The are legends… real music legends. The drummer and Bassist in this clip already died. The drummer is considered one of the best drummer of all time. The bassist is one of the best studio bassists. The guitarist is considered one of the best studio guitar players ever.. and so on…
Absolutely! They were session musicians (the best!) and decided to make their own band. Steve Lukather is one of the greatest guitarists I've ever heard. And when you're a session player they hire you to come in, usually uncredited, and throw down something special on the first take
Diana, "In 2015, Paich explained that the song is about a man's love of a continent, Africa, rather than just a personal romance.[12] He based the lyrics on a late night documentary with depictions of African plight and suffering. The viewing experience made a lasting impact on Paich: "It both moved and appalled me, and the pictures just wouldn't leave my head. I tried to imagine how I'd feel about it if I was there and what I'd do."[13] Jeff Porcaro elaborates further, explaining: "A white boy is trying to write a song on Africa, but since he's never been there, he can only tell what he's seen on TV or remembers in the past." -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa_(Toto_song)
The writer of this song once watched a documentary about Africa. This is his love song to the last place on earth with a soul.
Oh wow
He’s in Africa and waiting for his lady to come home to him. Waiting in the rain for his lady. A beautiful love story.

Their keyboardist wrote Michael Jackson's BIG HIT "Human Nature."

Wow
Around that era is Blondie, Men at Work and Madness :)
Excellent song! From Barcelona
It was once referred to as the dark contentment, now it is mostly desert and torn apart by wars
You're not alone about this..Wikepedia's explanation of this music video is still confusing..it seems the video doesn't match the music
Yeah it is confusing
OK, here's a tip. Forget the nonsense in the video, and just love the music and the lyrics.
🙂, i have questions 7:30🙂
Wikipedia. It’s free!
I think you need to do a follow-up to this video because you did not understand the video.
You ruined it kid. You ruined it. This song was a BEAST when your parents were babies.
