Toto's Africa performed by Andy McKee and Tommy Emmanuel

[@dustinmcfarland2441]

Can I also say how I love when Tommy backs off a little and just lets Andy shine? I think that takes a lot of class and I commend him for that!

[@Sax-fj4ee]

Not a surprise. Tommy has such class and deep respect for being a musician. One of the genuinely nicest musicians I have ever met. He understands his immense talent and so freely shares it with people. It is a refreshing thing to see and to hear him play. Keep it up you two!!

[@levidanielswain]

Tommy lacks ego and does what he does because he loves it and is not out to impress anyone other than trying to get better himself (if that's even freakin' possible), therefore that makes him the classiest, so it doesn't surprise me and warms my heart. Saw him live and boy, was that a treat.

[@CarlJohnson-ff6yb]

Why do we have same profile pic with different color are you a poser pls change your pic you ruin my impression

[@chuckeuston1213]

he always serves the song and honours the musician..

[@oscarmere1365]

Tommy is a generous man buddy..

[@guitarfan7579]

Tommy cracks me up every time he sings during a completely acoustic piece. I love it

[@ejRecording]

its not worth singing if it cant be sung ;)

[@joshmorgan4790]

it feels weird watching 2 guys effortlessly jam an amazing composition. the genuine passion these guys have for music is inspiring.

[@MirroringTruth]

Andy is a wonderful guitarist in his own right, but you can tell from the perma-grin all he's thinking is "I'm playing with Tommy!!!" Wonderful arrangement as usual, both of you.

[@Ja-jo6ew]

👍

[@DelTremens]

I think he actually is even better

[@shred5]

Tommy looks rather happy to be playing with Andy as well. Of course he pretty much always does.

[@nateribelinmusic8294]

Is amazing to watch how two such different guitarists can harmonize so well together. Tommy has so much energy that he just can't contain and it explodes from his fingertips, while Andy just keeps that steady rhythm and melody with perfect timing and making it look so effortless when it's a damn challenge to be able to play it.. let alone fluidly. So much talent here

[@wombatjones3894]

The best part is knowing that as good and brilliant as Andy Mckee is....He is still happy as fuck (as i would be) to be playing with Tommy!

[@paulj312002]

lol...he cant stop smiling. It was really fun to just watch them. That look on Andy's face? Pure unadulterated joy :)

[@jonaskonig3776]

Wombat Jones Tommy Emmanuel is by far Vetter then Andy. This two can't even be compared to each other. Tommy is 10 leagues above.

[@jonaskonig3776]

*better

[@esyacreations1976]

Jonas No, they have different playstyles, and they can't be compared like that. I hate when people like you have nothing else to do but to try to compare two talented musicians "Oh hey Tommy is 10 times better than Andy", just shut up and appreciate the music.

[@jonaskonig3776]

esyacreations Boy, you don't listen. Wombat Jones said that Andy is so brilliant and that he is still happy to play with Emmanuel. That sounded like Andy beging better. Of course they can be compared. Both play fingerstyle- Emmanuel is the best in fingerstyle

[@tonythedrifter]

I call this out as the best cover of Africa ever. Those two are just amazing. I¨ve playing this over and over again, can't get enough.

[@ourwayne]

Have been a huge Andy fan for a long time. And what can one say about Tommy! Just amazing!

[@CHICKENSNIFFER17]

Just when you think it can't get any better. Wow !!!!

[@antonionunez3759]

Barry Teevan Yeah right!!

[@omnilight_xl6324]

Barry Teevan get outta here!!😂😂

[@danielpadim]

Man, that was trully amazing. So sad for not beeing able to see them live.

[@glennhecker4422]

If you didn't already know: they're apparently touring together now... My brother and I are going to see Tommy Emmanuel at the Keswick Theater in Philadelphia on Friday (10-1-21) with Andy McKee as the opening act. It's a rescheduled show from about a year ago, postponed due to the tyrannical reign of King Covid.

[@pm2007est]

Its just a little better every time. Masterpiece

[@kjjmusic]

My two favorite finger style guitarists together. Its like Christmas :)

[@tonybarber420]

kjjmusic listen to mike dawes and youll have three favorite finger style guitarists

[@iggypopshot]

This comment pleases me.

[@CarlJohnson-ff6yb]

@@tonybarber420 listen to kent nishimura youll have one

[@samuelnoklang7027]

Just love how well Tommy Emmanuel backs up with his added harmonies to any songs... He is undoubtedly the 'giant' of acoustic fingerstyle guitar!! Great duet, great cover! 👌🏻

[@robertbarnes7871]

They just complimented on just how good the song really is .... Wonderful... Thanks for sharing.....

[@marysefonta8371]

I like these duo with Andy ! You're fantastic together. I appreciate so much Andy I saw in Marseilles, and with you Tommy, singing, playing it's Awsome !

[@GLCTLC]

Thanks Tommy and Andy for making this public! As always, your endeavors keep the world turning in the right direction, towards the rising sun, making each day new, and filled with hope.

[@DougBrito]

Beautiful, so beautiful, beautiful song, from a beautiful band (Toto), and perfomed beautifully from two beautiful players, thank you guys! You make my day with this!!

[@kendesjarlais7577]

too many beautifuls there

[@ajiaco26]

Ken Desjarlais not enough... :)

[@johnphilippatos]

Beautifull comment lol

[@stratplayer53]

I love the fact that Tommy Emanuel always seems to be having the best time he ever had when he plays his instrument.God blessed him to be able to play like that.

[@matthewliesemer3511]

Two masters, having a ball of a time playing and showing the us, the people of the world what is meant to have fufilment in life. Thanks forever for this

[@dougsadler5496]

Last December I was in Kigali, Rwanda, during a torrential downpour (such as you can only see in Africa). I stood with a friend under the overhang on a porch and we sang this song. Great memory, and I love the joy that comes from both these guys as they play!

[@Resiliencebalado]

Pure awesomeness! Both amazing guitar player and super chemistry between the two! Love it

[@shreddxxCA]

They look so stoked to just be jamming out I love it!

[@nk56950]

No words for the beautiful sounds coming from these 2 guitars. True artists!!!

[@achuMtk624]

Andy McKee.... absolutely brilliant....seeing you and Tommy Emmanuel together... what a way to do Africa as a duet !!!

[@pierreaugereau9845]

A blink of magic. Awesome !!!

[@HungarianGuitarist]

Wow! Great performance! Every night must be soo special with Andy and Tommy on stage...

[@dustinmcfarland2441]

I absolutely cannot get enough of this video!! Two of my absolute favorites on the acoustic with two very different styles playing a song I love!!! I hope to see more of them together someday!!!!!

[@gavinferris8106]

Amazing. Just shows how much a note or two difference in the opening line gives it a whole new sound. Great.

[@eduardobarrantesdurante1366]

Wowww!!! Excellent the two musicians!!! Thanks. EDÚ.

[@redrock1963]

TE always looks like he is enjoying himself while playing - it brings a smile to my dial.

[@JusstinBoyd]

Just saw Andy and Tommy last night in Calgary and this show was epic!!! As great as this video is, it greatly pales in comparison to seeing these two geniuses at work on stage.

[@Tylerfox2004]

Their chemistry is phenomenal! They really know how to play off of one another!! Tommy’s picking on his guitar 🎸 was off the charts!! Loved it!!

[@PriitKaru]

This is just awesome. Toto & Tommy Emmanuel what legends!

[@grinnerwolff1]

Perfect timing. No speed up or slow down. Amazing

[@jeremyp245]

cmon how many times do i gotta watch andy play Africa?.......all of them. All of the times.

[@timyarber9936]

I guarantee, every time. Yes please

[@EugenioFranklin]

Two masters. Glad I found this.

[@GrittyADV]

Yes!! finally!! two of my favorite guitarist of all time doing a video together. Thank you!

[@Theworkingtitle7]

This is pushing the limits of how much talent you can fit into one rendition! Holy smokes!

[@marcoleonelfukuda]

Wonderful! Two of the top guitarists and musicians of today. I'm a fan of both of them directly from Fortaleza, Brazil.

[@sivichkiqt]

so beautiful and so true.. from the heart of both great guitar players of our modern times!

[@yukld]

I'll always be amazed at how Tommy can give life and magnify everything that he touches.

[@71ngel]

*Where have you gone Andy!!!!* I was 12 years old when I first heard you I'm 23 now!

[@daveg7516]

[@DatAnydex]

I've watched numerous guitar videos today ... this one made me cry. BEAUTIFUL.

[@7x77-]

2 great of all time! love them both. Lets enjoy and honor them as they are still here with us.

[@ShreddFly]

I Love this song. And to see two of my favorite guitar players perform it, made my day!

[@timpricedrums]

Music is the saviour of humanity. Without it what would we have to bring us together like this?

[@ryanmaly]

I love seeing how happy Andy is playing with one of his biggest influences! Seeing him smile like that makes me happy for him. I love your music Andy! I was really bummed when I couldn't make it to see you at the Acorn Theater in Three Oaks, MI a couple years back. I still think about how amazing and intimate that show would have been.

[@AlbertoMons]

Fantastic atmosphere ❤️👍👍👍

Lovely to see two of my heroes having a lot of fun playing together. I was amazed by the last chord played - I have heard Tommy finish songs with unexpected chords before, which I appreciate a lot, but this was another one - simple, but fantastic!

Two legends. It blow my head and throw out the window. Now i want to Africa :D

[@jonaskonig3776]

edzio18x1 No. Not 2 legends. Just one legend: Tommy Emmanuel Andy is many leagues beneath Emmanuel.

[@bambostarla6259]

Jonas König It is a sin to say that Andy is not a legend. He is not as old as Tommy either, and his style is in my opinion better than Tommy's

[@rcdixon76]

SOOOOO GOOOOD!!! LOVED IT!!!!!!

[@timothyhill3771]

Absolutely amazing :)

[@timlist4173]

When I purchased my first guitar, just because I always wanted to try it, I heard about Tommy coming to Greenville Ohio, I didnt go because the tickets were more than I could afford. I wished I made more of a effort to see him. He is totally amazing.

[@glennhecker4422]

You may already know this: he's currently on tour (and I'm going to see him on Friday, October 1st, with my brother). Maybe you can catch him this time around...?

Fantastic!!!
