There are a lot of these on RUclips. Most of them take themselves way too seriously. You look like you are having fun and that is infectious. Don't ever stop dancing, don't ever stop being you.
I waste a lot of time on RUclips. I can, with 100% certainty, say that there was no better way to spend the 4 minutes and 4 seconds. This was absolutely amazing.
I just discovered this guy today from a link on RUclips. Wow. Truly impressive! Not just the vocals and harmonies etc. but the video/camera effects. I love this guy! Can't wait to hear more from him.
Stumbled across this at 5a.m. whilst getting ready for work...and let me just say: 1. Ya got me up and motivated 2. This is amazing ! 3. It's gonna be a great day! 💖Thanks SO much💖
I saw Toto play in Olympic Park in Seoul back in 1996, and I sang my heart out to "Africa." Boy do I love this song. Sometimes I just want to go back and listen to old favorites to bring me back to those days and put a smile on my face after a long day. Your version is now my go-to for "Africa," and boy does it put a big smile on my face, especially with your dancing!
I can’t believe how talented Jared is. He can sing in the same voice as Freddie Mercury, Michel Jackson, Elton John, John Denver and more. And the music he mimics is astounding.
Just by reading some of the comments in here I can see there are so many people who don't recognize the amount of talent being demonstrated here. That's unfortunate because they are missing out. Truly amazing!
Son,you got it.Your talent is at the top of the art form,you should be a household name,your time is close by. Never never give up, blessings&luck be yours.
I swear Jared I have watched this about 15 times over 6 months! Its so good dude! It brings back my memories from highschool from being in Madrigal. Thank you again for your time! ;-)
15% of the time: enjoying Jared's amazing singing the other 85% : finding the dancing man The top left particularly left me in stitches - he literally sings the 5 beats going into the chorus and the rest of the time is just being spectacular. And mouthing the words. Dear Jared - you are Jared. You may sing with the other Jareds. It is ok.
Stunning arrangement and execution. I don’t know how many people appreciate or understand the technical skill and immense talent involved here but I sure do.
After a stressed busy morning, this really made me smile! I loved it. The dance moves were great, and the soul seen from the awesome multiple performances were great! Thanks!! Hope to see more.
Very nice! The link was sent to me. I was just waiting for you to run into the end lead break!!!!! 🎸 I saw Steve Lukather from Toto play this with Ringo’s All Stars in Auckland NZ about 10 years ago and you nailed it, all vocally. Congrats; I’ve subscribed! 👍😎🇳🇿🎸🌟
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 old 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 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 (ooh, ooh) 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 (ooh, ooh) 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 (ooh, ooh)
Dude this is amazing, it sound incredible, not to sound rude, but I’m just wondering if you could anymore imagine dragons songs, if you could, I would recommend Polaroid (it one of my favourite songs) But what ever, this is just magnificent dude, great work!!!
You are freakin’ awesome Jared! I’ve secretly rocked out in the car and been a worship leader for many years. God has blessed you with some amazing talent. I love the dancing too. Gave me a lift in my spirit today. Thanks and God Bless!
No way!!! This is my favourite song! Edit: Thanks Jared! 2nd Edit: Oh my word thanks for the heart!! Also I’ve never had 40 likes!! 3rd Edit: Oh my days! Thx for 69 likes, most I’ve ever had! 4th Edit: Thanks for replying Jared!

Oh that sounds like fun and one word for this one is purfect love it
Has he done the acapella thing for Bruno Mars songs yet?
ohoho thats good idea... , ok lets make it come true
My brain in math class when music isn't allowed:
My brain during a math test, focusing on anything BUT the actual math:
@@soap_waters hahaha...yes..I had a math test last week...I think I failed because I was literally thinking about music..
I left some brains down in africa
@Lukewal99 😂😂
OMG ME
Background dancers are kill’in it.
Bottom left guy is REALLY passionate about them crash cymbals.
bottom left guy: :0 CHHHH
He looks familiar It might be his brother
Lol
Me whenever I play in band and the price has crash cymbals🤣
The background dancing is fine. The constant jumping into and out of frame is annoying. He could just dance there instead of leaving the frame.
I was staring at bottom right guy for a minute thinking: nonsense, he's doing none of this 😒
Probably the best thing I've ever seen
Jared+Toto+Acapella = Dream
True
#DA übrigens😊💛🖤
Facts
ha! thank you, so glad ya liked it 🙌
You should check Acapella group Perpetuum Jazzile. They have a version of Toto - Africa as well.
There are a lot of these on RUclips. Most of them take themselves way too seriously. You look like you are having fun and that is infectious. Don't ever stop dancing, don't ever stop being you.
Thank you for this comment :) just made my day. More singing and dancing on the way!

How is this not called “Africapella”
Well, it is now!

Disgustingly underrated comment
OH MY GOD.
How proud were you when you made that joke?
The guy on box C deserved the lead vocals. His high notes are way better then the ones of the guy on G.

But... i thought they were the same person?
Which one is box C? Which box G?

Great video again Jared. I always enjoy your acapellas and covers. Don’t stop what you’re doing!
Thanks so much! many more to come 🙌
This song has inspired me to go to church in South Africa so I can pray for the precipitation that happens there.
Son,you got it.Your talent is at the top of the art form,you should be a household name,your time is close by. Never never give up, blessings&luck be yours.
This is a masterpiece, an image of grace and beauty. True culture.
This makes me think that I've never appreciated acapella enough...really well done!
You might want to look up Pentatonix.
this looks so intricate and I love how you pay so much attention to every sound and note! I always enjoy your medleys and covers! keep up the work!
This is great! How did you find all of those clones of yourself? They look identical to you!
Tom Chapman and how is it possible that all of them are so good?😂
Aleks Zag especially at dancing?
Craigslist.
Lol. Millennials.
Ha ha
I swear Jared I have watched this about 15 times over 6 months! Its so good dude! It brings back my memories from highschool from being in Madrigal. Thank you again for your time! ;-)
This song makes me feel good & comfortable. & confident
Stumbled across this. Thank you for the smile and fun. ❤
15% of the time: enjoying Jared's amazing singing
the other 85% : finding the dancing man
The top left particularly left me in stitches - he literally sings the 5 beats going into the chorus and the rest of the time is just being spectacular. And mouthing the words. Dear Jared - you are Jared. You may sing with the other Jareds. It is ok.
This video brings me joy on so many levels, and the dancing just adds that much more delight. Excellent job!
Stunning arrangement and execution. I don’t know how many people appreciate or understand the technical skill and immense talent involved here but I sure do.
Amazing work! Tight harmonies, steady tempo, excellent vocal blend.
Jared, you are so underrated. You just gave me goosebumps with this talent of yours. Wish I could sing like you! Well done. 🎶
I wish I could like this ten times. So awesome! Loved the background dancing too! Great stuff
After a stressed busy morning, this really made me smile! I loved it.
The dance moves were great, and the soul seen from the awesome multiple performances were great!
Thanks!! Hope to see more.
One of my favourite videos on the internet, hands down.
I really tap your grace in music, by God's grace.
That is just stunning ....such an entertaining approach with the multiple "You's" dancing in and out of frame and such a wonderful tone just LOVE it !

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 old 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 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 (ooh, ooh)
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 (ooh, ooh)
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 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 (ooh, ooh)

I hear the drums
Echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight

I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancinet melodies
He turned to me as if to say
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

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 Serangetti

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa,
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Nice song choice, nice concept and execution. This guy doesn’t have a solo voice, but as a backup singer, he clearly shines.
You are an amazing and talented individual. ...ty for sharing your talent.
