This is a masterful performance. Don't call it a cover, these guys just inherit the time period when Toto wrote and performed this. I keep going back and replaying this when I want to hear an amazing performance. No one is mentioning the vocals. All 3 absolutely KILLED it - in the good way!
This whole performance is amazing but when Eric sings that chorus my socks literally blow off my feet... most talented dude I've ever met. Rock on my brother!
I've got to say, this is a tremendous performance of a wonderful song. It's just a great rendition in its own right, without respect to any expectations of preconceptions. I love the performance on the drums, and the sound created by a four-piece here is quite amazing. Also really enjoyed the production of the sound. Great mix, and an awesome sound out of that snare.
SOOOOOO, Good! the piano,,,,drummer..... Dammmmm. then the bass player throws the tag vocals @ the end... chills 4 sure. goooooood stuff. !!!!! love'm. , kodi
As much as I love Toto, and had the privilege to see them perform "Africa" live, this is definitely the best versione ever, at least live. Of course the original voices of Toto dig deep in a fan's emotion, but truly this is a technically and emotional performance that outperforms any other version. The rhythm section, drums and bass, makes this performance unique.
And Joel and Zach also kill it... Joels voice is perfect for this... but Eric really shines in this. I can't remember the drummers name but he also does a phenomenal job.

this is the best africa cover i’ve ever seen.
That is very kind. Thank you.
best live cover, by far
Underrated band, this is f*cking beautiful.
God, the drums are great, the guitarists are amazing, the pianist is phanominal. Everythings great
I agree. But the bassist on next level!
Slap that bass! Love it.
I love it when a drummer feels the song instead of just filling in the song
And the way he dominates the ivories is nuts... my guy

It makes me happy to still be hearing this song like 40 years after it was on the charts. Always been one of my faves.
Thank you!
That guy tryna get everyone to clap but then no one clapping is just such a mood
Flawless, absolute perfection.
ooaahhh perfect bass solos
I found this track totally by mistake. Blown away. How f*#ing good this!!! That bass player is off the charts with those grace notes - super tight.
That's our bassist/lead guitarist, Zack Teran. Thank you!
@@thenovelists He's a great player
this is the best cover EVER! OMG Im crying. so perfect!
This whole performance is amazing but when Eric sings that chorus my socks literally blow off my feet... most talented dude I've ever met. Rock on my brother!
The band and crowd loves the song..that is harmony..
This cover is awesome! The drummer is really good! Nice groove and I love that fill at 2:34 !
I hope these awesome musicians are still playing together and still making some more incredible music! I’m speechless…thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words. We just played a reunion show last night and have a few more on the books again after many years of hiatus.

great stuff, one of the best covers of Africa i have ever heard. funky and smooth. bass line is my favourite, nice and percussive
thanks guys 🙏🏼
This deserves far more views than it's received thus far. It's quite possibly the best Africa cover I've heard yet. Well done.
In my opinion this is easily the best cover of Africa I have seen thus far.
Very nicely done Gents.
Holy god! That drummer is feeling the music! Hahaha
why thank you ! If you don't feel it , why do it ? haha :)
Thing is, you're not wrong.
OUtstanding keyboard chops! The song just can't be done without great sounding accurate keyboard ability.
You all ROCK
by far the best Africa Cover on the web up there with MIKE MASSE
lmao my new hobby
I've literally spent my last 2 hours just listening to various Africa covers, and thus far, I agree: this and Mike Masse's are the tops.
Homitu I think a lot of people went down that rabbit hole lmao
Holy moly it is good!

Tight harmonies, great vocals and great vibes! :)
