    I bless the rains down in Africa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I love to hear and watch Africans review this song. It's wonderful how strong this song hits home for you. We Americans have "African Americans" here who've never been to Africa nor have any real affinity towards Africa. You true Africans and the love you have for your homeland, especially when living far away from it, reviews like this truly warms my heart. There should be a thousand red heart icons floating out of you when speaking about this song. :)

    The song was written in response to heavy droughts Africa was facing at the time. Hence the chorus, _"I bless the rains down in Africa."_

      Last year I was with the Masai on Mt. Meru, Tanzania when the first rains came after the dry season, and it is a true blessing

      Many years ago I was looking to shake up my life and decided that I would travel from the US to somewhere. This song came on the radio just then and it was settled that I needed to visit Tanzania. I've lived in Tanzania almost 17 years now. I haven't regretted it. Thank you Toto for the inspiration.

    This song reached Australia too. Was a huge hit. Awesome song. Back than we had more white Africans than Black Africans. How great is life now. Music is beautiful. Unity is better.

    I love this song, and is hands down one of my favourite calming songs... Nothing works better than this song to put me in a calm, relaxed, happy mood

    This is the most animated and passionateRreaction I have ever heard! And with good reason. Africa remains one of my all-time favourites - the music, the lyrics, the love for Africa. I heard this song, no this masterpiece, on a demo cassette. What an inspired choice. It has sparked off an interest I have in Africa; I have written about many African countries. Toto always play Africa at their concerts. Long may they continue to bring us Africa.

      I think quite the same. Sometimes I wonder why sometimes the AOR songs hit so tremendously on people!

    This band started in the late 70's & has been performing for over 40 years now. They mix all types of genres in their sound. You've done 2 of their biggest hits "Africa" & "Rosanna". Other songs by them are "I'll Supply The Love", "Georgy Porgy", "99", "Make Believe", "Stranger In Town", "I'll Be Over You", "Without Your Love", "Stop Loving You", "Pamela" etc.

      What an infectious song! The beat, the harmony, it moves into a musical climax that is so moving and satisfying. Plus the singer, David Paich, is so sexy in this.

    Absolutely love this song, I can’t imagine anyone that grew up in the 80’s not singing along with this. Sarah, a choir auditioned for America’s Got Talent with this song, their version is so incredible, Angel City Chorale, please try to fit it in. That choir is incredible, Simon loved them, everyone did❤. Thank you Sarah, have a wonderful weekend.

    I love how most of the reactions I saw couldn't understand the lyrics and they were mostly americans... But then you come and simply understand it's about love for the land and not a romance.

    Great that this song resonated for you. It has an exotic feel to it. Toto is a really acomplished band with their own special vocals. Another strong song of theirs is "Hold the Line".

  • @rockstarmax
    @rockstarmax 4 месяца назад +1

    Love your reaction. I was the former manager of the lead singer for Toto his name as Bobby Kimball heads the guy with the great voice and the second verse. That says I felt the reins down an Africa. Which is what is the most amazing part of this song. Glad you like it I speak to him all the time. I will share your video with him. He lives in Los Angeles.

    What do you think you're doing? You are uncovering a vice for me, this song hypnotizes me (it really is like that) I can't listen to it just once and that's it, I play it on a loop for hours, for days, to sleep, I don't know what it produces in me, but it transports me far away, even at inappropriate hours. I feel real obsession with this song, thanks for your nice reaction

    Another great hit, "Rosanna" is well known for a unique shuffle beat that drummer Jeff Porcaro devised. It's called "The Rosanna Shuffle" and is something that all drummers feel compelled to learn at one point or another.

    I enjoyed your reaction as much as you enjoyed listening to the song! And seeing you react to a song about your home continent it occurs to me to suggest you one day react to "Band On The Run" by Paul McCartney and Wings. In addition to being a great song by an ex-Beatle, the album was recorded in Lagos!!! Stay well!!

  • @abelcano3723
