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

[@DenCon143]

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. :)

[@sixstanger00]

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."_

[@user-hb4um9tk6g]

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

[@TakezoMusashi]

For sure. And it makes me want to go back there again and again

[@changesnlatitudes]

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.

[@haydendegrow945]

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

[@ChillVibing11]

I love, love, love this song. Beautiful sound gives you goosebumps. The beat will definitely move your feet. The harmony surrounds you and uplifts your soul.

[@dimitrisnikoloulis4071]

A tribute to the mysterious and exotic continent of Africa by Toto. That continent birthing wild passions !!

[@scott3605]

Yes you're exactly right. It's about a man's love for Africa. Great band & song.

[@bronwyndeegan1022]

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.

[@RG-qn2qm]

One of greatest songs composed ....lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

[@erichirsch583]

Sarah darling you look fantastic!😘😘😘love Toto!

[@stevejones9717]

YES!!!! the drums!! totally awesome. love this song. and i'm a drummer. always wanted to play this with people.

[@dagmar.6954]

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.

[@wentonmastermind]

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.

[@XaviClot]

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

[@krisfox3537]

Beautiful song. I never get tired of it.

[@whysaywhyx7100]

I was in school when this came out. It truly is a masterpiece!!

[@debradeangeloi9438]

Classic, classic song , I grew up with Toto 🙏💕

[@audiob2027]

When your heart truly feels for a place, the emotion is overpowering and undeniable.

[@colinweir3203]

Africa beautiful place, beautiful people.

[@matskarlsson3219]

Toto - Africa. Reached number one on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart, for a single week February 5, 1983. Thanks Sarah! For a great reaction video! 🙂

[@rk41gator]

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.

[@seannovack3834]

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.

[@shawngraham49]

Classic. One of my favorites. Always makes me turn up the volume

[@robertstoner8244]

Beautiful song 💖 by beautiful people 💗

[@janetlawson4482]

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.

[@davidpost428]

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".

[@pamagnolia]

Beautiful song!! Have always loved it!! 😊

[@purdymarie9904]

Love this song too! The video is a head scratcher. What is that. But the drums the harmonies, sweet.

[@deanchapman7632]

When I saw u say, This Feels Like Home"...there was 0 chance I was gonna miss it...🤙🙏

[@LuisAguilar-ht9op]

One of the best reactions I’ve seen. A beautiful song bringing out the joy of smile and laughter.

[@timothywarner9139]

So fun to watch I watched twice 👍

[@pamelaking7186]

Love to see the joy on your face as you enjoy drums.

[@allanjensen1195]

I love your videos - they inspire me to listen to songs that I've heard and loved a thousand times before at deeper levels, and rediscover them with a new passion.

[@MariaHelena-vd7je]

Amo toto ❤❤❤❤

[@YesThatNeal]

Love your reaction! I feel the same every time I hear this song and I was around when it first came out.

[@Phoenixmayya]

I think this is my favorite of theirs ❤ I remember just belting this song out as a kid❤

[@rk41gator]

He is in love.....with Africa!

[@Andrei.Christop]

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.

[@chrisorlando6162]

This made me so happy to see your genuine reaction Sarah. One of my favorite songs.

[@robertwalters5654]

Great reaction and beautiful smile

[@rokit430]

An Anthem for sure..Love to Africa❤

[@RvrChkpk]

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

[@mattiehart8960]

❤LOVE TOTO

[@mickthemerciless9694]

Perfect arrangement and performance.

[@rockstarmax]

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.

[@007ndc]

Epic song.. Beautiful and powerful. Soaring chorus and and groove so deep it could float an aircraft carrier

[@user-pt8ej8ie1w]

A beautiful song for a beautiful African woman. How did you like the lyric "Hurry boy she's waiting there for you?". I had the record. Great song❤

[@mickthemerciless9694]

One of those perfect, original records.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Great song to get on the dance floor with your love.

[@debradeangeloi9438]

Classic ✌️👍🎤

[@sharonannrees2824]

I agree with you. This is such a beautiful song and the instrumentation fits so well with the lyrics!

[@dipiesse72sg]

Toto the best 🤟

[@ronyro3270]

one of most iconic songs from early 80s

[@cindyvaughn4547]

I've always loved this band Toto!!!

[@amandathibodeau4996]

I really loved your analysis of the song at the end. Truly insightful!

[@tcfolstrom599]

Great reaction :-)

[@jamesbondbond8388]

This beautiful song !!!!!

[@kennymonty8206]

The original passport bros.

[@revgurley]

There are some really good videos of choirs singing this almost a cappella. A really catchy song!

[@abelcano3723]

That album from Toto in 1982, think it was called IV, was absolutely incredible. Vocals, songwriting, instrumentals. Absolutely pristine.

[@sheenadees2701]

One of my absolute favorites from my youth 💕💕💕🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕 loved your reaction especially during the synthesiser solo! Thank for bringing me a smile this morning!

[@DiscoTimelordASD]

The happiness on your face was felt by us all🙂

[@lord69z]

Thanks!

[@SarahDengler]

Thank you so much! 😊🙏

[@glaubercandidopita]

Gabriel Henrique - Don’t Wanna Lose You (Rhythm&Truth)

[@mcgtwarrior]

One of my favorites from my youth

[@Stacy55ish]

[@user-vn9bu9rh4g]

[@JakNekon]

Beautiful

[@cesarortiz5252]

Muy buena reacción saludos desde 🇲🇽 música que nunca pasará de moda 80s

[@ulfbackstrom9002]

Oh. Great reaction!! Öove to see you react to Journey live i Houston.. Dont stop belivin Open arms Mother father . . Brilliant!!

[@shemanic1]

a great feel-good tune.

[@rian202003]

I had to revisit this, so good.

[@keymack2477]

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!!

[@mikemiller3069]

Out of curiosity, have you reacted to Paul Simon's "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes"? He does the song backed up by African singers. It's very good and worth checking out.

[@radioonetime]

adorooooooooooooooooooooo

[@jimmychristensen7112]

Have you done Lionel Richie with " All night long"?? If not then you should check it out 🙂

[@_Shadoh_]

Just found your channel, nice reaction to an absolute classic! Also, as a german I hope you like it in Germany and people treat you well!

[@ronreed6041]

You are so beautiful!! Love this one!!

[@XaviClot]

As a curiosity, actually Kilimanjaro doesn't rises about Serengeti but above Amboseli.

[@JakNekon]

Also try Enya, Africa

[@ultimoviaggio8926]

👏👏👏❤❤❤

[@matthewrudder3275]

Love that song. Think you’d love “you say” by Lauren Daigle

[@jacobfranks1188]

We need to protect Africa from agriculture and the cutting down of trees it to beautiful of a place to disappear

[@1980shithead]

This song is awewsome give this cover song a chance : PYOGENESIS Africa :)

[@quicktastic]

Song is great. The video, like 95% (correction: 98%) of music videos, is senseless and a distraction from listening to the song. Beautiful reaction.

[@lisafayepranger8561]

if you loved Toto listen to the guys former band Steely Dan.....

[@MrBilgey]

'rise above the 'Severity'?

[@scott3605]

Serengeti

[@Yyyyyy5]

Gonna take a lot to take me away from you…..

[@darrylwillett8359]

Lyrics all wrong in spots..lol
