The feeling I get when I hear and watch this.... the smile that spreads across my face when I see so many people work together to make something wonderful and beautiful....this is why I sing in a choir
In college I sang in a choir for a semester. Absolutely didn’t get that feeling. I actually didn’t like it. Also when a went to church a few times it pretty much sounds exactly the same. To be fair this choir in the video is not a professional choir where voices are separated and where voices are grouped and different tones sing different parts, instead this is like when people sing at church. Everyone at once. I didn’t really like singing at church either. I get this really bad feeling of group mentality, and “group mood” if such a term exists. I just don’t really like it. When under 10 or so people sing then I like it.
What a beautiful merge of male and female voices together, just shows the beauty of the contrasting voices.... I really appreciate this it is wonderful, made my night, thank you beautiful people
@@mads_fairy1 Yes, but still nobody is wearing anything fancy. It always looks more along the lines of them announcing beforehand, "Just show up in whatever you'd wear in a casual night out on the town and be prepared to sing."
It is actually not a choir they guitarist and conductor go to different places and the choir is actually the spectators even cooler concept. No professionals just people who enjoy music for what it is!!
I like it when a person appears to be enjoying what they are doing. The lady in yellow really deserved to be where she was. Great cover to my favorite song.
This was epic - great to hear the arrangement. We have a many men arrangement doing the solo part in our choirs arrangement in order to try and attract more men - we need some of your gents! Please can we borrow you?!
This makes me so happy, Young and Old(er), all races, disabled etc. are involved in this and it sounds amazing, wish the world was like this, music is emotion, and it makes you feel good. Keep up the great work CCC. And i love this song since it was released.
this always makes me so happy, the energy from the crowd is absolutely incredible. also, what i like about ccc in general is that everyone look so nice and "ordinary", like someone you could just meet on the street and have a conversation with. i don't really know how to describe it, but it makes me feel really good about myself and humanity in general.
One thing that has been left off is the incredible camera work. It adds so much to the energy of the singers and the energy of the song. Again, incredible.😊
this reminds me of the beautiful and intelligent work of the ants and the bees and shows how great things are done when you work together, congratulations to everyone.
I know this is an older vid, but it came up in my feed, and I watched while reading thru the comments and it struck me that many of the comments were about how they looked "ordinary" and just like "normal" people. And that's cos they ARE ordinary...... all choirs are full of normal ordinary people. Coming together to sing..... that's extraordinary, both the experience and the sound, but it's an experience everyone can, and should have. Singing is intrinsic to being human... ALL humans sing, and should be encouraged to sing. It's good for us, it's good for those listening... and hopefully, they'll give in to the urge to sing too. Singing is pure music.
I love this song anyway Bought it when it was released. Yes, I am that old. But this version is wonderful. Totally lends itself to this treatment. Awesome!
Time cannot determine if you're old or young, it's your attitude that counts, I do not think you're old, you just came here before some of us, but some others came before you.
The joining of many voices & personalities to make great music is marvelous. Love watching as many individuals as I can, yet the group is greater than the sum of the total. Music is a great gift.
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 long 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 take 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 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 Hurry boy, she'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 I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (Ah, gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
the lady at the front in the yellow sweater was really feeling this omg love it
btw this is SUCH a great group song
+Olivia F She's cool. She's like that in all the Choir's vids.
+kittycatuser i aspire to carry that kinda vibe!
+kittycatuser Yes hahah I love finding her in a lot of the C C C videos XD
You mean the one doing the star trek cos play?
The feeling I get when I hear and watch this.... the smile that spreads across my face when I see so many people work together to make something wonderful and beautiful....this is why I sing in a choir

Greetings from AFRICA-UGANDA🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Choir Choir Choir We need you back after COVID😰🙏🏻
There is something spiritual in singing with a large group - one voice, one emotion binds us together.
What a beautiful merge of male and female voices together, just shows the beauty of the contrasting voices.... I really appreciate this it is wonderful, made my night, thank you beautiful people
What is about the collective human voice that is so enchanting and mesmerizing... just beautiful!
I like that they wear normal clothing. Shows that singing is actually such a natural and normal thing.
I agree. No tuxedo's and evening dresses etc, just the people looking natural. I love this choir, they're boss.
Like in Sister Act where the took off their robes.
They are not a choir they go places and teach them music then sing
@@mads_fairy1 Yes, but still nobody is wearing anything fancy. It always looks more along the lines of them announcing beforehand, "Just show up in whatever you'd wear in a casual night out on the town and be prepared to sing."

Great cover to my favorite song.
Used to hearing the women sing strong...but the MEN!!!! Incredible cover!
Definitely. They really rounded the whole piece out. Gorgeous
This was epic - great to hear the arrangement. We have a many men arrangement doing the solo part in our choirs arrangement in order to try and attract more men - we need some of your gents! Please can we borrow you?!
One of the most underrated songs in the history of music. Awesome choir
This song has always been one of the best...ever!!
I don't know any human that doesn't rate this song to be fair...
This song is amazing and so is the choir although I do not think the song is underrated because I hear it a lot on oldies stations
Maybe it's underrated when compared to songs like Elenore Rigby, Numb, Living on a prayer, Bohemian Rhapsody etc
Based on the 1 hour and 45 minutes of internet research I've just concluded, I can say confidently that there are over 9000 covers of Toto's "Africa"
The song is 30 years old, isn't?
Benoit Viel it was actually the 35th anniversary of it hitting number 1 this last week
His power level It's over 9000 !!!
so this is one of those lucky ones
That's because it's one of those songs that's so melodic and has a hook almost no one can deny.
This makes me so happy, Young and Old(er), all races, disabled etc. are involved in this and it sounds amazing, wish the world was like this, music is emotion, and it makes you feel good. Keep up the great work CCC. And i love this song since it was released.
Went to my first sing along on Saturday. Great fun!
Just what i needed in 2020 SOmething WHOLESOME x
Do you know how happy you all look while singing?
Great!!!
they actually don't lol
True love for something does that
They're positively exuberant, and it's AWESOME to see and hear!
Gratidão por cantarem de forma tão mágica, e épica essa música tão especial ...!!!
Excelentes vibrações emanadas ...
Parabéns!!!🇧🇷🇨🇭
This is one of the best CCC arrangements and performances!
you can see the happiness in everyone's face. Different cultures meld together to make this a wonderful collaboration
Simply exhiliarating!!!!!!!!!!! The way human voices were meant to be heard!!!! Thanks, guys! Great job of happiness and joy!!
I have seen some videos on choirs performing Africa, but this is the BEST one.
WHY AM I NOW DISCOVERING THIS IN 2021 ?!?!
EXACTLY
this always makes me so happy, the energy from the crowd is absolutely incredible.
also, what i like about ccc in general is that everyone look so nice and "ordinary", like someone you could just meet on the street and have a conversation with.
i don't really know how to describe it, but it makes me feel really good about myself and humanity in general.
Some newspaper years ago, in the easier days wrote: A musician can never be a bad human. Seems they were right, at least with those people here.
Still my favorite Choir!Choir!Choir! cover of all times. This one just has some magic to it
What a beautiful performance nice memories I love this song. How are you Justin?
same here
I just discovered this and it's fantastic!! Looks like my afternoon is spoken for!
One thing that has been left off is the incredible camera work. It adds so much to the energy of the singers and the energy of the song. Again, incredible.😊
This seem so fresh every time I view it.... kudos
I'm loving these people. My stressful day just got healed.
Greetings from MOROCCO (AFRICA) 🇲🇦❤
This is one of my favorite songs. I love it all the ways it's been done.
This is one of the best versions I've ever heard.
I can't believe I used to not like this song. The "Replay"-Button is my favourite tool for tonight.
CreativeJam same here . This is the ONLY version of this song that i really like.
this reminds me of the beautiful and intelligent work of the ants and the bees and shows how great things are done when you work together, congratulations to everyone.
I think this is one of cccs best. Ever.
These musicians are simply wonderful. Love 'em. Director is right on. Thank you Choir Choir Choir. You are all marvelous.
I will never get tired of watching this video.
they have awesome videos but, this is my favorite one!
Can't get enough of these lot. Nice one gang, and that's all of you. From across the pond in Liverpool.
Love the fact there are so many men and women of different ages... awesome!!!
This is SO WONDERFUL!!! Love this one especially. I SO wish I lived in Toronto!
Unfortunately Kawai Leonard does not share the same sentiment.
Love this! See you in Buffalo NY in May 2023!
The women in red gives everything too !! Great cover !
This makes me smile, ear to ear.

Chris Chin oh, hey there! I've seen you in the clips. I love listening to you guys. wish I lived in Toronto so I could join in. 😊
thank you for all your positive voices!
Good for you guys who organized this choir, the effort you put is more than appreciated.
I want the pandemic to end so that i can join this when i visit Toronto!
I know this video is old as f*'* but God what chills I got listening to it!
Wow, just listening to you guys makes me so happy :)

WOW! I thought I was the only one who sang it like that. Do do do do do do do doooooo I love it !!!
I'm obsessed with this channel ♡♥
I've always loved the harmonies in the chorus for this song and this just emphasizes them. So gorgeous
Excellent! One of my favorite songs!
have loved this for so many years. So pleased to listen again,
never heard this song in this style... but Iove it...i grew up to this music
Tears of joy flowed from my eyes. I give you all my love
I would imagine that the great band. Toto, must be so happy that this amazing song is so loved by everyone. Thanks for posting
This is simply brilliant! Awesome singers!
I love this song anyway
Bought it when it was released. Yes, I am that old. But this version is wonderful. Totally lends itself to this treatment. Awesome!

That whole concept is AMAZING
Perfect pitch, harmony and everything I LOVE THIS. Keep up the excellent work.
This is amazing. So much heart-filled love ❤️.
This is a Amazing Song! Different groups can sing it in so many ways! I Love it!
This deserves so many more views.
Your choir Master and Guitarist are an amazing combo
The joining of many voices & personalities to make great music is marvelous. Love watching as many individuals as I can, yet the group is greater than the sum of the total. Music is a great gift.
Singing in a company together with other singers is simply mind and heart opening!
There's nothing 100 men or more could ever do--- priceless!
Everyone of those persons. were so happy , was amazing to see , !!!!!! all the smiles !!!!!!!
Love the singing by the guitarist!
it warms my heart how they just come together once in a while to sing with someone that is practically stranger. beautiful
Thanks for helping me pull an all-nighter accompanied by this wonderful song.
Wow...what a tribute to this incredible song!
This makes me miss my choir. It’s a no-go-zone for me since COVID.
I can hear my old director as I watch this lol
This video is still pure love!
The imperfections of 1 make the perfection of many.......
The synchronized sounds these organisms make... it is pleasing to me.
Great👏👏👏💜🎶🎤🗣️My Daughter likes this Song, too😊. She is singing in a Choir🎶🎵
Besides the fact that they sound amazing, I love how casual it looks, lot's of choirs are so overly styled and stiff. They are just jamming.
Joyful! You sound great and entusiastic. That's the spirit! Greetings from Slovenia.
THOSE THEMES DESERVES AN ALBUM COMPLETE
Great cross section of peoples, I am truely envious very envious!!!!!!!
your arrangements are incredible!
Amazing! I want more of this, please!!!
Uplifts the Body, Mind & Soul..... Just what the Doctor ordered...... During this COVID19 pandemic..... Bless You All CCC........
I love this Choir Choir Choir....They are fantastic with their voices. Beautiful. Love you all!!
Awesome freaking concept! This needs to go world wide!
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 long 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 take 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
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
Hurry boy, she'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
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
One of my favourite songs ❤ loved this
