And Now For Something Totally Different…

BG sent me an interesting link the other day. It is a YouTube video of an a cappella jazz choir from Slovenia (of all things!) called Perpetuum Jazzile singing the song “Africa” (done by the rock band Toto in the 1980’s).

They have a very unique way of presenting the song, including a simulated African thunderstorm at the beginning and end. Pretty amazing considering they do not use any instruments at all (at least I learned one thing from my high school band days – what “a cappella” means – ok, so it refers to a choir, not a band; I guess an a cappella band would not have any instruments so it would actually be a choir, but I digress – a lot…).

You can see the video by clicking here – enjoy!
