The female singer’s voice is amazing.
Not only her voice
@BRC Equals X It's not a competition, there is no out doing anybody. They are a combined operation!

As an African born in Kilimanjaro region this is the most passionate version of the song..
Ahsante sana 🇹🇿
Gracias 🇮🇹
I bless the rains....
Gideon Lebabu thank you so much 🙏🏼 ... Hope you’ll like our next production too (look for IRIS on my channel! 😉)
@@DenisPotenza I'm subscribing...keep making music.. Denis

As a White man not born of Africa at all, I enjoyed this rendition!
I feel like I will play this song every day for the rest of my life.

Well, I've been doing that.
This cover is one of my favorite songs of all time. We listen to it every Saturday morning, my 3 year old son is obsessed!
Me too!
Just one word: wow.
The low voice guy and the girl... amazing. Best cover ever heard.
The people of Italy get maximum respect for how they've suffered, yet have seemed to flatten the curve.
Keep the prayers continuous for the human race.
Yes. Tytyty. Enlight ened!! U r!
Absolutely 🙏🏻🌹
Blessed you ❤🙏
A mio parere la miglior versione di Africa.Penso che i Toto,se l'hanno ascoltata,abbiamo molto apprezzato questa versione della loro hit.Bravissimi.
This is what passion looks like, kids. Take notes.
Sono. Bravissimi. Vero
è un immenso piacere sentirli
You are so right! Appassionata!
di sicuro

Absolutely true, friend 😷⭐️❤️🇺🇸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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.
STILL THE BEST “EVER” VERSION! 🎶 Still a Great Grandpa 👴🏻, still in Tennessee, still listening! 🎵🙏🏼🇺🇸
This song has transitioned from classic to iconic.
Just imagine, Italians are "blessing the rains down in Africa". What a masterful performance by all. BRAVO! !
... Ethiopia left the chat
@@eps3154 🤣🤣why?
2 years late...how in the heck did I miss this?!?
I thought it was impossible to improve the original version (even match it). One of the best songs in Pop/Rock history. My respects
This entire arrangement is absolutely breathtaking, and everytime I listen to it - probably everyday - I confirm that.
Claudia Tosolini thank you so much ☺️ hope you’ll like our last production too 😉
@@DenisPotenza believe me! I find Iris as powerful as Africa! I truly hope to hear a lot from you, here in Brazil and everywhere! Can't wait for what's to come :)
I actually listen to it everyday as well! It is just amazing in my opinion!
the strings instruments are breathtaking -why am i so late
@@kttn_wolf5621 no worries! You'll have time to catch up, since you'll be listening to it probably everyday (just like me), I swear 😅❤️
I am in the U.S. and watching this video with awe. You are young people with incredible talent. You give me hope in your generation.
Hello selamat malam adek ku apa kabar🙏🙏❤️😭✴️✴️💐💐🙏🙏
Hello!
Hello Denis apa kabar🙏🙏❤️❤️🌷🌷🙏🙏
Incredibile. Tutti bravissimi ma il ragazzo del piano.. impressionante
A song called AFRICA... Proud definitely! 😍😍😍 Down in Africa is where it's happening!!
I take it you have been in Africa
@@johnodriscoll4180 I am AFRICAN... Africa is homeeeeeeee.
@@GodGirl254 and I have good memories of Africa
You guys are possessed by the spirit of excellence...because this is the true definition of perfection
I’m glad Mike endorsed this. It deserves much more attention.
MIND-BLOWING!!! This performance blows Toto's Africa clear into outer space!!!
now that's a true masterpiece.
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.
Speeker on portuguese.I do Not
I have serious doubts about it. This cover is bad. Just bad.
@@josegonzagadosreisreis5000 m
@@sargdavid Look at the guy looking for attention...this is at least TWICE as good
I'm an American and grew up with Toto. Personally I think this a very special and beautiful version.
Brandy M I agree, this is an amazing version of this song.
My favorite since this song hit the American top 40s still is❤
I liked and shared to my half Italian cousin, who’s sadly deceased Papa lived in Padua.
This is exactly why I love Italy 👍🏻
The greatest rendition I have ever heard! Brava Italia!
Denis Valentine Thank you so much! Hope you will like our last production too, look for IRIS video on my channel! 😉 A hug from Italy!
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!
No number of likes are enough for you! Being a musician part time. Let me just say that its not only a group of talented people. Not only a great music video. But a huge effort, days of work, patience and dreams to build such a result. Way to go. Keep it up!!
You guys can't be humans.i still think you all are come from another planet😱🎹🎸
sono emigrante in portogallo da 22 anni e voi mi fate sentire orgoglioso di essere italiano.grazie di cuore.
From Chile: ¡Força, Itália !
Damn, when that piano player busts out with that voice in the end...
Love Italy and Rome. They invented civilization, TWICE. Bravo.
Damn Italians are a beautiful people. You guys are so talented. Thank you for sharing this. All the best. Mitch
:D
Hey Mitch that's pretty sweet from you to say. They for sure represent the best part of us.
@@batmark1974 🙏
I cry happy tears watching this production. I only crave for more. The hairs on my neck raise up. Bravo!
This is the best rendition...so much talent.
Grand father was Italia
Lots of love from African Canadian ❤️😍
I cried in the begining and something started to grew inside of me when instruments and drums started. This is simply wonderful! Love this song and you made it powerful.
Marcello Bicudo
Yes. Pure love of the sound of music.
This video is perfect. Musically and visually. This is how you deconstruct a popular, well-known song and make it your own masterpiece. As someone noted, this is what passion looks like.
The best performance of "Africa" I ever heard!
Thank you! 😉🙏🏼 … Don’t miss our latest cover (search for … “ITALIAN ARTISTS play Queen”) 😁
I'm French-Australian and thank you for my Italian brethren, this is so beautiful!
I'm from Sri Lanka. We're a small island and full of beautiful people, places and faces, and this video was shared by a metalhead in our small community. As an appreciator of TOTO and the fantastic music they've given us, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by this cover. This has to be the most brilliant cover I've ever had the privilege of hearing. Magnifique! I STILL have goosebumps. Viva La Italia!
Shalinda Jayawardena thank you so much! 😊 a big hug from Italy 🙏🏼
Viva them and you too.
Viva them and you too.
Would love to visit you.
We'll listen to this ..... .
Vive you!!!!
Simply amazing! This version of "Africa" that i played thousand of times with my Toto cover band, made me cry!! Great passion, heart and soul! Bravissimi!!!!
Wow. Chills when the female vocalist started the chorus!!! Amazing!!!
Thanks 🥰
Still watching this four years later and yes, and yes, still amazing. Can we get someone in the US to give Mara a recording contract?
the gorgeous lady and the feller at the piano steal this! amazing voices!
Un grande saluto dalla Colombia, musicisti meravigliosi con molta forza interpretativa. Un abbraccio da un paese il cui nome è di origine italiano: Colombo.
Italy we are with you 100%. We pray and let God handle this scourge from hell. With prayers and love from Texas USA.

@@mrmusic248 Alright
Best cover....EVER!
Not much music has given me goosebumps in the last 10 years. This did. Incredible talents and incredible production.
This brought our family so much joy last night as we were quarantined...I can't imagine how it is in Italy right now...my heart goes out to all of you...little did you know that in times like these, your music was so uplifting...grazie mille!!!
I've heard almost all covers of Africa, that are on CZcams. This has to be one of the best. You have my applause!
Holy cr** that's the best cover of Toto Africa I've ever heard. That sent shivers down my spine it was so good.
Ogni volta che lo ascolto mi mette i brividi.
This never gets old. Approaching 1 MILLION views (over 93%)...good to see.
Sono un italo-americano, un professore di teatro, e ti lodo per questa straordinaria interpretazione. Sei una benedizione per un mondo triste. Forza insieme!
Onore agli italoamericani 🇮🇹
@@chiaraconti7008 lo sono anchio

Anche Io. Vivevo in Italia quando ero un ragazzo molti anni fa. Ho molti ricordi felici dei miei anni in Italia.
Great, just great - a lot of drama, intensity, emotions, rhythm, passion, details, sunlight, power vocals, love, wine, harmonies, spices, colours, flavours, sensuality, grandiosity, temper ... has been added to the original. And this is what you get - multo grazie Italia, greetings from Denmark.
I agree,wine?
I missed that,Barolo of course))
Bravissssssiiiimmmmooo)
What a time to be alive.. great music everywhere ;)
I've watched this SEVERAL times and I get chills each time. I AM a musician from age 17 and I'm 65 now (yeah, I'm an old b"tard) but this is GREAT! If this doesn't bring you to tears, you either have no soul or you need more to drink!.
michael kaus I feel the same way. This is freaking awesome and I can’t stop watching it.
Beautiful comment that made me laugh too! Thanks Michael. Best to you :)
Having the extra shot...theyre very good ...
Michael, i watch this about daily. Im not musically inclined but I know good when I hear it! Have you listened to "In These Arms"? Super moving as well. If you can find it Mara singing "Delicate" as well.
You are so right!
Thank you Italians for showing the world what real passion is. A rumor has it that you're really good at it😉. Ciao from Ukraine 🇺🇦👍
di sicuro!
And it's not a rumour!
It rained here yesterday.good.needed .hope the rainsin Africa......gottasplit
Like?????c'mon.
Tea in a ⛺
I found this because I love Italy so much. Of all the very beautiful countries I've lived in and traveled in, Italy won my heart forever more. Italy is known for art. Yes....they will make this song something spectacular!! I hope everyone is doing well! I love you Italy! I love all of you musicians as well!
Grazie ❤️🙏
@@mara.bosisio Prego. Tuttavia, grazie mille per tutto il talento e il duro lavoro per il bene dell'arte / musica e per offrirlo al mondo. Sono un grande fan! Grazie molto!
I commented 4 years ago "why the fxck does this only have 4K views?!"
🎉I've just rediscovered it again and I'm so glad it now has 2.3MILLION VIEWS. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a great version that song!!!Fantastic!!!
You have truly remade a masterpiece into another masterpiece. Bravo Italian friends.
Exactly, this is so good.
Wow wow ......just wow !!
LEGIT SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE -
Damn, I keep coming back. I need to be able to give more than just one like. This version is just amazing...
Vocal harmonies, chord progression, melody re-arrangement are outstanding! BRAVI!!!!!
Re-arrangement: yes! And having Mara sing the chorus at the highest of Bobby Kimball's points but every time, talk about bringing the big guns.
Also, skipping the insrtumental major before the last chorus and staying in minor through the electric guitar solo, awesome.
Best ever version of an epic song! Thank you!
YAY! Outstanding-Incredible-Excellent-Powerful-Mind Blowing Woww!!
I cannot stop listening to this. It is superb.
I have completely lost my mind over this video ..UNBELIEVABLE..AMAZING....I have listened to Toto a 100x's I'm sure...and just discovered this...the best I've ever heard...I'm hooked !!
PS...We Canadians also stand with the wonderful people of Italy!
Grazie, un saluto dall'Italia Iris Schell.

Blessing the rains in I-TAL-LIA after this cover.
THE DOPEST COVER EVER, the music break in middle with orchestra was beautiful made me want to cry
Fabulous!!! Perfect!! Just can´t get tired of listening to it!! Masterpiece of a Masterpiece!!
Sam Smith Thank you so much! Hope you will like our last production too, look for IRIS video on my channel! 😉 A hug from Italy!
Just when I thought this song couldn't be any more awesome. Glorious.
the harmonization between the strings and singers from 1:02-1:37 is sounds simply stunning. I can say this is truly one of my favorite covers i have ever heard.
Thank you so much Kevin 🙏🏼
EPIC MUSIC!
ETERNAL MUSIC!
You need to take all of those artists and make more cover songs. Totally impressed.
Wow, I'm a third culture kid that used to live in Africa, and you guys are absolutely amazing. You vocalized the power of that beautiful continent
Damn, now that's the way to cover a song. Eccellente!
I listened to your music thanks to an American reaction video, I am of Turin, your town, and I have never hesrd one of your fantastic cover on the radio! 😒
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Only Italians could cover "Africa" like this. Fantastic!
What about africans?
Also the original ones: the Toto were of italian descend...
you are so right!
Watched this maybe a hundred times already.but it feels like the first time everytime im watching it.especially that heavenly voice of that lady
You are right! Her voice cannot be described any better than you did. Is amazing!
One'sthe greatest performance in my life i've ever heard!
So much passion with Italian music, always! Magnifico! ❤
Mike Rowe brought me here, and I'm glad he did. You guys are FANTASTIC!! LOVE your team's synergy in this cover. Looks forward to your other works.
I too blame Mike. Greetings from Portugal :D
@@malduarte I also blame Mike.
Thanks, Mike R
@@TheDutchman58 I also was referred here by Mike Rowe. What a great rendition.
Thank you, there are other videos on Denis Potenza's CZcams Channel and we're working on other projects as Italian Artists, please keep following us. Thank you for your precious support!
One of my favorite songs growing up in the 80s and you just put it on another level. Beautiful!
This is the best thing I've heard in my entire life. I listened to it five times in a row and i still haven't had enough of it
Lisa cimorelli and Tyler Ward's cover is also good.
@@MerilynFerncy Yeah, I've heard it. It's awesome. I love LIsa
Amazing....didn't really care for this song until this rendition of it!
Why do I keep going back to this video? Because it's AMAZING!!!
seriously... over and over and over again...
It’s on my liked video list.
"Repeat" always on.. Impossible stop listening this capolavoro, modern rinascimento!
This is an absolute celebration - love it!!
Goosebumps ❤️❤️❤️
Impressive is a word that can't describe the phenomenon !
Sindrome di Stendhal uditiva e, senza esagerare, un nodo in gola grosso così. Il vostro arrangiamento è GENIALE, e tocca tutte le corde che deve toccare in modo PERFETTO. Siete STRA OR DI NA RI. Grazie!
Best Version Ever!!!!
Absolutely beautiful!
DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE VERSION OF AFRICA (TOTO) SONG! SUPERB TALENT......RESPECT AND HONOR TO YOU YOUNG PEOPLE! From a New Fan in Tennessee USA! 🙏🏼😘👍👍👍👍
Thank you Glenn Winningham 🙏🏼
