If anyone is familiar with the group called Toto and their song called "Africa," you might enjoy this YouTube video. No, it's not simply a video of Toto performing the song. Rather, it's a video of a choral group that performs the song a cappella style, complete with vocalizing the thunderstorm at the beginning of the song. It's quite remarkable to sit back every now and then and just enjoy the artistry that people can express without the aid of technology.

For one brief six-minute moment today I found enjoyment in what had otherwise been an extremely frustrating day. I hope those who view this video may also find a brief moment of enjoyment.

And now, I present to you the group called Perpetuum Jazzile performing Toto's "Africa"...
