Acapella Toto's "Africa" - being moved out of a funk

So I’ve been stuck in a funk the past couple of weeks. I’ve been thinking, why bother trying to perform or be in that world, there’s too much drama and stress and argh.

Then I saw this.

It’s a Slovenian choir, and it’s totally acapella. Down to the rain.

That was honestly one of the most moving and powerful performances I have seen in the past few years. Everyone working together melding beautifully and creating MAGIC. WOW. I’m not sure if this choir is 100% pro or a mix but who cares – it blew me away.

screw drama, screw politics. If I could touch even just one person the way this video touched me, I’ve achieved more than I wanted.

  2. hmm, I can see why you’d recommend it, and it sounds cool, but it doesn’t really do anything for me. It doesn’t have the same magic qualities (perhaps of sincerity and intention?) that this video did. Thanks tho!
