Música de viernes: I bless the rains



El grupo coral esloveno Perpetuum Jazzile hace un maravilloso cover acústico, a capella, del clásico pop de Toto, Africa.

Curiosos los caminos del arte: este video, que a la fecha lleva más de 15 millones de visitas en Youtube, fue el responsable de que en mayo de este año la canción Africa resucitara en los charts neocelandeces (y los charts de iTunes) y alcanzara el puesto nro. 5. ¡Una performance superior a la que tuvo el tema original, hace 30 años!

Atención a los muy ingeniosos "efectos atmosféricos".



Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you!"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
