Africa by Toto - Flute Cover

In my living room, mistakes and all! Neighbors probably hate me! I don't own the rights, this is just my flute cover of Africa by Toto.

[@erichegdahl9742]

One of my favorite songs. You killed it. I love you Noodlez

[@ShakiraElizabeth]

Love you daddy

[@satinbarbi]

That was great. You have a gift for improvisation. I also loved the tone you get from your flute.

[@tenserafa]

2:48

[@alexbaldwin1771]

Klabob thanks

[@drewbie4014]

You have blessed me with great knowledge

[@ArpPlays]

Oh NOOOO

[@reptillicus4753]

Ok so I was writing a gay little fanfiction recently and I was writing two of the main characters serenading each other by one singing Africa to the other while the other played it on a Pan flute, and I realized just how badly I wanted to hear that. So I go searching and none of the results are peaking my interest and none of them sound just right. *Until I reached this exact video*. It’s everything I needed and it fills both a coincidental niche and a void in my heart. This was exactly what I needed to hear, and now I can imagine the scene in my head PERFECTLY. Thank you, bless you, you’re a goddess.

[@bourbon75uk]

Absolutely fantastic.. beautifully done. Keep ‘m coming.

[@jessell9478]

Please please please make more videos like this. Your tone is amazing and your ability to improvise songs like that is like no other so please make more covers of any genre of music. By far the best flautist I have ever heard.

[@thighdude7]

Excellent cover. You put a lot of emotion and custom touches on this. Thanks for the content.

[@glemelo1]

Amazing

[@slampig1567]

I wish my neighbors would jam some toto!

[@MrRiguepeu]

Super bien. Merci pour la séquence nostalgie. Coucou du sud de la France où on aime aussi la flûte traversière en buvant du vin et en mangeant du camenbert avec un béret sur la tête😂😂😂😂

[@maristelaalves8685]

Estar muuuito lindo.

[@bourbon75uk]

Goosebumps girl, goosebumps 🤗

[@ShakiraElizabeth]

[@justflutes4788]

YESSSSS

[@TruckPhantom]

You really liked that one particular refrain, you get giddy and light up. :)

[@hitmhard]

Great job!!

[@TrenBlack]

Everything about this is pretty

[@BurningParadox12]

Playing a song just by hearing alone is very tough. U did a really good. I been trying to do something similar with my trombone actually

[@rogeres83]

Muito bom

[@kenimerlewis]

impressive

[@dfw_carthings]

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)

[@Pigeonification]

Really well done! I don't play flute but I imagine the high notes are difficult to hit correctly.

[@jeanphilippe8733]

Wow, cant believe they made a song after your flute solo

[@nico2000ad]

Bravissima

[@Ryan_Winter]

Are you playing this by hearing alone? If so, kudos.

[@ShakiraElizabeth]

Rylan Joran yes all by ear!

[@martinlaird4738]

ShakiraElizabeth Great stuff! I do the same for my Irish whistle and flute, it’s a great skill to have

[@JJaime-tc4wb]

Well, she had her eyes closed for a little bit so I think it's safe to assume so 😄

[@syranjolly7093]

Just saying most people memorize sheet music🙆

[@1Flyingfist]

@@martinlaird4738 Can you recommend any nice Irish folk songs suitable for a beginner please? I watched this Sir James Galway video last week and he said that's what he used to play when he was younger 🤔.

[@robertdiaz5069]

Play titanic

[@diegongenelkelen7254]

nice solo

[@atipsygypsylife]

I just love watching you play. I wish I could play that well! Do you give zoom lessons? LOL

[@ShakiraElizabeth]

I have never done that but I would!

[@robertdiaz5069]

Good job 👍🏽

[@elliottbrown9689]

what flute do you have, it sounds amazing

[@scottytrotter]

Hahaha! Love the look on your face at 3.03 when you realise it's a tiny bit off! :) However, I've just started learning the flute (so have no credentials to criticise) and I'm having a go at Africa, so this is very helpful to me, especially at half-speed. Keep up the good work. :}

[@dennishricenak6719]

Same

[@dennishricenak6719]

You are the best

[@grafdf7841]

😍🌃

[@MarceloNegreiros7]

Great, Shakira! Go on!!

[@Lordpotatoali]

[@veritywarner-moulding6267]

What equipment do you use to record the beautiful sound 😍

[@sshares456]

omg i love this😍 i am also looking for a flute and the sound of yours is very nice! Could you eventually write the name of your flute? That would be very nice of you :)

[@Cage-CatYT]

Gonna send this to one of my friends that plays the flute without context

[@rachelcollins6305]

I have to play this in a parade this Friday and I'm nervous.

[@atomation7442]

[@dennishricenak6719]

shakiraelizabeth plz can i have some notes i want to be like

[@camidelude4704]

Okay, how? When I play this it sounds like a kid trying to whistle with no front teeth

[@begonekneecaps1072]

Welp, I guess I have to analyze your fingers now

[@ShakiraElizabeth]

i will steal your kneecaps it’s in the key of a major ;)

[@defaultjohnny146]

OF COURSE YOU HAVE THE SHEET MUSIC! YOU'RE LITERALLY LOOKING DOWN

[@ShakiraElizabeth]

You're ridiculous. I dont have the sheet music and I was looking down at my laptop. Get out of here before I block you.

[@bluemangroup_1828]

u sure u arent using another over? this sounds fake

[@viktorjansson4461]

WHY YOU SAY YOU ARE TOTO WHEN YOU ARE NOT TOTO!?!?!?

[@ShakiraElizabeth]

Please don’t act so stupid you guys. In the description I credited Toto and they make royalties off this video. I’ll have you blocked if you’re going to be annoying.

[@ShakiraElizabeth]

Like, you have nothing to copystrike me on, nor do you have the power to do that. KZbin would’ve noticed before you if I did anything wrong. I credited them perfectly right. Get out of here and be dumb somewhere else
