The group's name is Toto (it's the same name as the dog in the movie from the Wizard of Oz). This same group worked on Michael Jackson's albums. They also worked on a lot of other artists albums and the group is still touring today with a lot of Generation Z fans starting from the ages of 18, 19, 20 year olds, they attend their concerts, and their concerts are sold out. Africa is the biggest song the concert audiences love to hear. Toto goes back to the 70's.

My dad played this a lot on road trips when I was a little girl. Wind in our hair just jamming out, makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy because it's a memory I hold dear in my heart when I hear this song, sad because sometimes you just want to go back to those moments.

[@SicSemperTyrannis74]

Yep. Same here. That whole album with Africa, Hold the Line, and Rosanna. One of the best albums of the early 80s. I was born in 74

[@JF-NYC-NJ-Girl]

Wow you just got me...my grandfather used to take me to a store called “two guys” in the early 80s...this song played over the awful speakers...I miss him and my youth

[@XaviClot]

God bless you and your dad. Thanks for sharing this memory.

I'm 56 years old, so I've been listening to music for a while now. Honestly, I think that this is my favorite song of all time. I don't know why I love it so much. It just sounds so dang cool. The music along with the harmony of the voices gives me chills to this day, at a point in my life when I don't get near as many "chills" as I used to. Something about this song makes me feel adventurous and brave.

[@walterpanovs]

Check out their terrific other hits "Rosanna" and "Hold the Line."

[@jamesellis701]

This might be the best song ever written

@@MrPhife333 What's funny is that they thought it would never be a hit. They put it last on B-side

[@krisfox3537]

Toto is a group from the 70s. This song was written after one of the members saw a documentary on the plights of the droughts in Africa. Hence I bless the rains down in Africa.

[@kimberlys8422]

First time I heard this song, it was on the radio on GTA: Vice City. Still is one of my favorite songs.

[@bigfish1965]

This song followed a dream he had about Africa. It is a band of guys who are studio musicians (some of the best anywhere) who just created a group one day. They are Steve Lukather (guitar), Jeff Porcaro(one of the best drummers ever who sadly died in 1992), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), David Paich (keyboards), Bobby Kimball (Vocals, keyboards). The band still plays today more than 40 years later.

[@kennylugo2950]

Mike Porcaro (bass) brother of Jeff and Steve. Sadly Mike also passed away.

[@YesThatNeal]

Fun fact: This album racked up at the Grammys in 1983, winning 6 including Record of the Year ("Rosanna"), Group of the Year, Album of the Year, etc. Awesome group!

[@tombeauchemin5624]

Roseanna is another great Toto song, btw you got the dopest hats!!

[@alecboyce1998]

Wish it didn't have the same name as Roseanne Barr

You are such a hidden gem Quay🌹. This song is my childhood soundtrack🎶 (i was born in the 80's) .Much love from Israel💖

Toto is a group of session and studio musicians who have played on countless other people's albums. Rosanna and Hold the line are 2other songs I think you will love

[@shannonwoods2413]

You really should watch the live version of Toto doing Africa....they add a Bass and Guitar solo in the middle of it, which is bad ass!! And the over all performance is amazing!

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

This sing has always given me chills, I've loved it my whole life, it just screams how majestic Africa is. The groups name is pronounced ToeToe. hehehe but it's cute how you said it

I admire your willingness to embrace music and the enthusiasm and joy with which you approach experiencing new sounds. You've earned a subscriber. To add my two-cents, Oasis - Wonderwall.

[@SweetThing]

Two different people singing solo in this video: David Paich (sitting at the desk) had the lower voice; Bobby Kimball had the higher, stronger voice. Toto has been putting out albums for over 45 years now. Check out "Burn" which is from their 2015 album with Joseph Williams on vocals. :-)

[@DonaldHolben]

They were the studio band for Thriller as well.

[@lawrenceholohan8812]

Awesome song and Wow! the girl reacting is Whoa,beautiful!!

This band was Michael Jackson's studio band for the Thriller album, they even wrote a song for him Called "Human Nature", it's on Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' Album kzbin.info/www/bejne/e52xkGesituHhtU

Jeff Porcaro is considered one of the greatest session musicians

Lol Thank you 💛

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Hi Quay. The name is pronounced like toe toe. The guys in this band had all played on studio recordings and even some tours for a whole bunch of different bands and singers back in the day. They decided to pool their talents together and form a band. To identify their demo tapes from the other bands in the studio they used to mark theirs TOTO. They used to tell people that it was named for the dog in the wizard of Oz. Truth came out later that it came from a Latin phrase in toto meaning all inclusive or all encompassing. Because they covered so much musical ground between them. Had a bunch of hits and even won some grammys. One of the guys wrote a song on the Michael Jackson Thriller album and he and another one of the guys in the band played on a couple songs on that album. You just keep being you sweetie and the money will get there. Stay safe and well.

[@michaelohanlon9623]

There's a theory around the net that this song is about a guy who is a werewolf ("this thing that I've become") and he's looking in those ancient books to find a cure before visiting his girlfriend in Africa. Say what?! It is more likely he just wants to see her; he's reading up on the country. It's a beautiful-sounding song. Toto's members were previously all high-class session guys who harmonized great together and got that big tight guitars sound. Agree about the flutey keyboards solo--clever in a happy way.

[@MoonChild-1994]

Fun fact: Toto's song Georgy Porgy was sampled by 90s female rapper MC Lyte in her song Poor Georgie. Check out the original and the sample Quay!

[@boofuls]

Every days a school day 👍

[@sixstanger00]

Toto wrote the song after hearing about severe droughts Africa was experiencing at the time, hence the chorus, _"I bless the rains down in Africa."_ Also, the group name is pronounced, "Toe-toe," (like Dorothy's dog in _Wizard of Oz_ )

[@golfpartner59]

Love you in the cap ❤️

¡Que hermosa canción !!

[@bcmort1581]

'frightened of this thing that I've become' - he kills the woman at the desk at the end of the video. 'I miss the rains down in Africa' - he is in Africa and it does not rain and he misses that.' He is not saying it rains in Africa.

[@bilzahubbers1419]

Good thought but he’s singing “I bless the rains down in Africa.” It was written about the suffering in Africa, the plight of the fraught efforts. “I bless the rains,” etc

[@stephendavidallen]

Pronounced: Toe Toe Beautiful reaction!

Toto did a lot of good songs. (pronounced toe toe) This song was really popular, I am quite surprised you never heard it before. I have no idea what the back story is of this song, but it's great and really catchy. I know if you ever hear a piece of this song again, you will recognize it right away. "Hold the Line" is a good one of theirs kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqXKo2amq6elY6s "Rosanna" kzbin.info/www/bejne/p56yfaeKfNummK8 is another of their well known songs. The second one has an interesting rhythm.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

ROSANNA was thier other gigantic hit at that time also ..

[@renemuller815]

Damn.....these stunning eyes....😊

[@timanderson5601]

Steve lukather hated it he said if it became a hit he would run around town naked, needless to say when it broke the charts he didn't pay up on the bet, Steve is the lead guitarist
