At first, I thought this cover of Africa was too much.

I know what you’re thinking…ANOTHER cover of Toto’s Africa?  REALLY?  I thought the same thing.  I mean, after Weezer did it, it seemed like Africa covers were everywhere.  This however, is on a different level.  When I saw it was titled “Toto-Africa Sweet Potato and Pumpkin”, I thought Oh dear, what sort of soft rock schmaltzy cover of the song is this?   I clicked anyway, because that’s who I am, and after a second realized this is pretty impressive.   I won’t spoil it for you, but consider that the “instruments”  were all hand made and seemingly just for this performance.  I am rather impressed!
