The female singer’s voice is amazing.
Not only her voice

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!
Just one word: wow.
The low voice guy and the girl... amazing. Best cover ever heard.
Santa Madonna! ma quanto è bella questa versione!
quando l'etnico si unisce al classico e si fonde in un titolo monumentale.
e quali voci avete tutti, un dono di Dio. Meric, mi piangono gli occhi... ♥
This song has transitioned from classic to iconic.
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.
Incredibile. Tutti bravissimi ma il ragazzo del piano.. impressionante
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.
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 😷⭐️❤️🇺🇸👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You guys are possessed by the spirit of excellence...because this is the true definition of perfection
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!
STILL THE BEST “EVER” VERSION! 🎶 Still a Great Grandpa 👴🏻, still in Tennessee, still listening! 🎵🙏🏼🇺🇸
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🙏🙏❤️❤️🌷🌷🙏🙏
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 😅❤️
鳥肌がたった！ 日本からありがとうございます🇯🇵🇮🇹❤
何回聴いても感動します🥲
素敵なハーモニーです。
TH-camが無ければ絶対に知り得なかった素敵な歌声に感謝します🥲
@@user-bv3eb6co8m Thank you 😍
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?
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❤
Just imagine, Italians are "blessing the rains down in Africa". What a masterful performance by all. BRAVO! !
... Ethiopia left the chat
@@eps3154 🤣🤣why?
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!
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)
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.

@@sargdavid Look at the guy looking for attention...this is at least TWICE as good
Un grande saluto dalla Colombia, musicisti meravigliosi con molta forza interpretativa. Un abbraccio da un paese il cui nome è di origine italiano: Colombo.
Ogni volta che lo ascolto mi mette i brividi.
Mara stands out like a goddess being the only woman in this video. Mara is truly a goddess of music. What a blessing.
Thanks ❤
From Chile: ¡Força, Itália !
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!
This is the best rendition...so much talent.
MIND-BLOWING!!! This performance blows Toto's Africa clear into outer space!!!
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!
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 gorgeous lady and the feller at the piano steal this! amazing voices!
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
sono emigrante in portogallo da 22 anni e voi mi fate sentire orgoglioso di essere italiano.grazie di cuore.
I’m glad Mike endorsed this. It deserves much more attention.
Absolutely fantastic. I am sure Toto love this version. Brilliant👍.
The best performance of "Africa" I ever heard!
Thank you! 😉🙏🏼 … Don’t miss our latest cover (search for … “ITALIAN ARTISTS play Queen”) 😁
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!
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!
One'sthe greatest performance in my life i've ever heard!
So much passion with Italian music, always! Magnifico! ❤
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!!!!
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!!!!
I love Toto, and this rendition is out of this world, well done to the whole band!!!
I'm French-Australian and thank you for my Italian brethren, this is so beautiful!
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 🇮🇹

Anche Io. Vivevo in Italia quando ero un ragazzo molti anni fa. Ho molti ricordi felici dei miei anni in Italia.
I'm here because of Mike Rowe. Great cover of a great song. Bellissimo,
THE DOPEST COVER EVER, the music break in middle with orchestra was beautiful made me want to cry
OMG that powerful deep voice 1:20 ! It send me chills
I cry happy tears watching this production. I only crave for more. The hairs on my neck raise up. 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 🙏
Bravíssimo, Italiani!!! Abraccio di Rio de Janeiro! ❤️🖤 Dio sea per voi. ❤️
Beautiful, dont have words to say that experience. Wonderful
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.
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.
Wow…. I got chills … love this version
Holy cr** that's the best cover of Toto Africa I've ever heard. That sent shivers down my spine it was so good.
What a great version that song!!!Fantastic!!!
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!!!
Semplicemente meravigliosi senza parole...
Grazie 1000! Non perdere il nostro ultimo video 😉👉🏼 th-cam.com/video/gN-wj5YbWis/w-d-xo.html
Best ever version of an epic song! Thank you!
A great *MADE IN ITALY* performance of a great song!
Very well done, players!
Let the world know that Italians are powerhouses of art, expression and talent!
I'm proud of you.
Keep up the good work!
Bravissimi!
comasb beh non mi sembra che essere fieri del proprio paese possa essere usata come critica.
Sopratutto in questi momenti dove il patriottismo viene a meno e dove tutti criticano questo fantastico paese
"Repeat" always on.. Impossible stop listening this capolavoro, modern rinascimento!
Ragazzi, non so come esprimere i miei complimenti nei vostri confronti... siete una forza della natura! Amo questa canzone e senza ombra di dubbio la vostra è la versione più potente ed emozionante di tutte! Grazie infine per la vostra musica, non smettete mai!
Grazie mille! ☺️🙏🏼 … stiamo per tornare con una nuova bomba, continua a seguirci! 😉
She has such a lovely voice.
I cannot stop listening to this. It is superb.
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!

かっこいい！
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 🙏🏼

Thank you Glenn Winningham 🙏🏼
Mara is the best looking and most amazing female in this performance. Thanks. I could watch this forever. Great job.
I work a lot with Italy and always send your marvelous rendition of Africa to them! God bless you all...
Sent by Mike Rowe. If he listened 3 times in a row, that's enough to peak my interest! Did NOT disappoint! Stellar cover!
This just kept getting better and better. Seriously, this is probably one of the internet's crowing achievements. More please.
YAY! Outstanding-Incredible-Excellent-Powerful-Mind Blowing Woww!!
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. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
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
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!
What a time to be alive.. great music everywhere ;)
I thought it was impossible to improve the original version (even match it). One of the best songs in Pop/Rock history. My respects
I've heard almost all covers of Africa, that are on TH-cam. This has to be one of the best. You have my applause!
You have truly remade a masterpiece into another masterpiece. Bravo Italian friends.
Exactly, this is so good.
Absolutely fantastic. Love from India
Straordinaria canzone, straordinaria interpretazione e straordinarie voci!!!
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 TH-cam Channel and we're working on other projects as Italian Artists, please keep following us. Thank you for your precious support!
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.

High bar, this Classic. This group & arrangement reaches it.
I wasn’t sure about this rendition in the beginning, but it grew more and more powerful, and was just out of this world towards the end
One of my favorite songs growing up in the 80s and you just put it on another level. Beautiful!
Fantastico!!! Ma allora la musica bella e ben fatta esiste ancora! Bravi bravi bravi bravissimi!
An extraordinary rendition, so full of passion and depth it makes me cry...
One of the best performances of this song I have ever heard. Congratulations !!!
I can't stop listening this amazing masterpiece! I hear it at least 5 times per day
And why not
me too
This never gets old. Approaching 1 MILLION views (over 93%)...good to see.
Better than the original, wow!😮
goosebumps. and that's a first when hearing africa...
