I recently heard a hauntingly beautiful song that I hadn’t heard in years. It was the song “Africa,” by the group Toto, recorded in the early 1980s. As some songs do, it kept playing in my mind long after I listened to it. Coincidentally, the night after I heard it, I saw several references to the song on Twitter. This made me more interested in the song, so I watched the group sing it in a 35th anniversary live concert on YouTube. It is really a magnificent song, and has been meaningful to later generations from all over the world who weren’t even born when it was first recorded.
