What's amazing is that we almost didn't have this fabulous song. Only the lead singer of Toto wanted to include it on the album, the rest of the band thought it would be a dud. They couldn't have been more wrong as it's become Toto's signature song and definitely has earned classic status, something that'll be performed 100 years from now.
That's interesting, didn't know that. It's one of my favourite songs. Music from that era was very special. Love the "rain and thunder" at the beginning. Such a beautiful version. E❤
Just close your eyes, imagine a huge rainbow, and listen to the falling rain and the music. Right, you have the best of Africa. Tks for sharing this amazing performance.
@@gracesdaughter9074 Perpetuum Jazzile, performed live at Vokal Xtravaganzza 2008 (October 2008). The video is available on YT. They have no intruments. The have two beatboxers as the percussion (drums during the actual song). They originated the intro of the Thunderstorm. Angel City Chorale prformed it later. Both versions are good, so is this version!
Wow you guy's rocked. May the big man continue to bless us all. Great job the soloist the choral especially the Director. And the pianists. Straight From Pennsylvania USA. GOD BLESS....
Wow... that must be a magnificent feat. Very much talented. The production of the rain and thunder sound is impeccable. I must admit that was hard to do considering the number of choir members. You guys rocks...
WOWWWW! This is just brilliant! I was in the Christ Junior College Choir 2010 and 2011. Love how the choir has transformed trying new music and genres. Loved this interpretation of the song. Kudos to the choir!!!
One of my favourites and they did it proud! These young people are not professionals yet gave an excellent performance of a difficult song. Rain and thunder effects were brilliant!
What a wonderful and creative version of a true classic. Brought tears to an old man's eyes. A testament to a band that set out seeking an international appeal. Beautifully done. Thank so much.
You guys did an awesome job! You're beautiful souls. I truly hope your generation brings peace and love to the entire planet. I apologize for my generation messing that up.
This is a powerful annointed version of a classic! One of the great anthemic songs ever produced, it transcends all cultures, languages, religions, and races...
Hi there guys. My best compliments for the performance, So cool. You got emotioned today, here, at my home, in Italy. God bless you guys and VIVA LA MUSICA FOREVER!!!!!!!
You're not the only one. It's awe inspiring, and one of the most widely copied ("covered") songs in the world. And for reason. It's extremely beautiful. 👍
Fantastic conductor who blends those many voices and hearts. I see faces from every country--not just Mother India---the whole world sings together here. How blessed we are!
This is beyond amazing . Being a choir member myself ,it must be really hard for the director to control the whole members to come up with that amazing snaping ,clapping thing. ❤️❤️❤️
Out of all the renditions from other choirs I’ve watched on here, you all take the grand prize especially for the beginning rain scene! The thunder was the best! Well Done 👏🏼
Замечательное исполнение! А дождь и гроза в начале - вообще бомба! Спасибо вам и успехов! Wonderful performance! And rain and thunderstorms at the beginning are generally a bomb! Thank you and success!
The rain and thunder is a very old performance tool that has been around in the USA at least 40 years that I am aware! Learned this at music camp in the very late seventies!

Hats off to these folks with gratitude for honoring this piece of Western civilization❤
TRUMP 2024
Every time I hear a large group do this song it brings tears!!
goose bumps also, for me.
Me too
Just close your eyes, imagine a huge rainbow, and listen to the falling rain and the music. Right, you have the best of Africa.

This has to be the best version ever. The thunderstorm is spectacular.
Idk who created that version, but Angel City Chorale of LA did it a couple of years before this choir.

Just a reminder for people what music was like back in the 1980s and 1970s. ❤😊😅
Blessed be the sound of voices singing from their hearts. Well done choir!

Very well done! The rain and thunder effects were especially excellent!
Brought water to my eyes.
@@1969cmp me too, I'm such a mess
Thank you
Yes, I thought so. I thought his voice was not strong enough, to be honest
@@carrieboultby7516 agreed , sorta like he talked rather then sang it
One word fits this from start to finish. Excellent!

You're not the only one. It's awe inspiring, and one of the most widely copied ("covered") songs in the world. And for reason. It's extremely beautiful. 👍
What are the folks who press dislike listening to or looking for? This was excellent!
Fantastic conductor who blends those many voices and hearts. I see faces from every country--not just Mother India---the whole world sings together here. How blessed we are!
