Santa Madonna! ma quanto è bella questa versione! quando l'etnico si unisce al classico e si fonde in un titolo monumentale. e quali voci avete tutti, un dono di Dio. Meric, mi piangono gli occhi... ♥

As an African born in Kilimanjaro region this is the most passionate version of the song.. Ahsante sana 🇹🇿 Gracias 🇮🇹 I bless the rains....

A song about Africa... sung in English... but makes me ache for Italy. Lived there for a year in ‘92. Loved every single second of my time spent there.

I have no doubt that Toto would absolutely love this cover and the beautiful artistry behind it. These wonderfully talented Italian musicians pay deep respect to the original and yet, somehow, makes the song all their own.

Three members of Toto were of Italian decent. Jeff Porcaro,Mike Porcaro and Steve Porcaro. I believe they are from Calabrese decent. Mike and Jeff are dead. So this is great to make a tribute to the best band in the world.

[@paulstilwell5417]

At first, I thought it an acapella version, but the instruments just enhanced the vocals, as opposed to overpowering them. A FAR superior cover compared to the Wheezer version from a few years ago. A version that both pays homage to the original, yet is original in it's own way. Truly a beautiful rendition!
