This brought me to tears... just 3 friends casually getting together to jam and making such a beautiful sound. The 3 of you are so lucky to have this moment together, and we're so lucky you decided to share it with us.
Nothing casual about it. Totally planned & practiced. They live where it's VERY hot so thus the relaxed clothes. The newscasters there don't wear ties. :)
@@lindsayheywood7195 I’ve played many different styles of music in many different bands, all my life. But I have never been in a band that could sound as good, as amazing, as the talent on that couch. It kind of hurts, even though I love this song by these three very gifted people.
@@powernicky Man, you're really fed up with a lot of bullshit, huh? People in palestine have just as much freedom, security and opportunity as in any other country out there, especially compared to their fellow brethren in neighboring countries. Comparing them with israel is just unfair, though. Much more successful and liberal country. Hell, women in palestine don't even have the freedom to wear what they want, let alone sing...
Great song, great cover. I was at a party. I asked a man what kind if work he did. He replied, “I a music producer. I produced a group. You might know their name “Toto.” I said, “Totos as in Africa and Roseanna??” Yep, that was the group. I think Africa may have been the first world beat meds hit.
...they weren't content only to play with excellence but they made one of the best audio recordings I've ever seen on youtube. The sound capture was perfect.
This isn't only music that is awesome. Watching three of you sitting on couching sofa, having a great time together, doin what you like makes this vid full of happiness and joy. ❤
This song has so many covers, a testament to it's sheer original brilliance, but there are only a few that do it justice. You've kept the original spirit of the song & performed it really well, thumbs up from me.
That last note on the last word "...had" is so freaking perfect. The harmony is absolutely wonderful. That one note is a masterpiece by itself. They caught the subtlety of that last set of harmonies how they don't shift exactly the same note up and down together. There's some kind of subtle offset in the last note I've always thought was beautiful and they got it perfectly. It's the details! Great artists pay attention to the details.
I do this song I know how hard it is. You guys just are incredible with your execution. That lead solo on acoustic cutaway it was incredible. The base is beautiful and the rhythm section on that Martin is exquisite.
Wonderful performance. Beautiful voices. The sound is comparable to the original. The bass player is even immensely more beautiful than the original 😊🥰
This cover shows 2 things : 1- That these artists are fantastic and 2- What a song ! The bass line, the harmonizing, it's all in the original version and it shines even more in this rendition. Well done.
Where in the WORLD did you find that bass player? I've watched a number of your videos and this girl just KILLS it in every one of them. The internet and UA-cam are full of great acoustic guitarists and you guys are right there among the finest. But the net is not full of good bass players and this young lady is truly a one in a million! I hope you men appreciate what you have in her. She is damn good!
Wow! This is one of the best covers I've ever heard. Simply amazing work from all of them but I feel Lital's awesome bass and backing vocals aren't getting as much love in the comments here as they should.
La simplicidad compensada con genialidad; ni falta hacen más cámaras (todas los cortes son ampliaciones de una misma toma). Pero el sonido, la vitalidad, el dominio vocal y la maestría en la ejecución no dejan ver lo demás. De esos videos que te roban una sonrisa y regalan alegría. Felicitaciones Yoni, son increíbles, un derroche de talento.
Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous. Each of these three individually is a great musician, it's true, but put the three together? Just incredible! Thank you!
I've heard this version now a dozen times. Still stunning ❤ Very very geat performance! I wished that I could play guitar and join this wonderful trio just for this song 🎸
I know I keep writing basically the same thing on all of your videos, but I can't help it -- you three are just phenomenal. I'm astounded at your harmonies, the blend of your voices, and how HUGE your sound is. Ayzeh yofi, Yoni, Amir and Lital, and todah rabah for sharing your talents with all of us. I hope so fervently that you're safe and doing okay in these frightening times.
BEAUTIFUL!! AMAZING PERFORMANCE!! 😅😅😅 You guys just just equalled the recorded original version and you did it with just acoustic guitars and 1 bass guitar!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!!😅😅😅
This is an incredible cover as all Yoni's covers are, he's a gifted musician but like the other lad said check out Mike masse cover of this as well, unbelievable voice
Sad reality, we will never hear this kind of music composition in this generation.. What have we become? It's just sad.. All we can do is treasure these kind of music.
Im a reasonably good amateur guitarist and my work took me into the home of an elderly gentleman. I noticed a beautiful wall cabinet with 6 acoustic guitars and mentioned I played guitar. I finished my work and was shown and allowed to play the guitars. The part antique mini collection was mind blowing, but, that's not my story. Like Yoni, as the gentleman played, I realized it was part of him. I sat down and listened as he played about every style of music including classical and modern percussive styles. Absolutely clean, beautiful tone etc . I was like ,"who are you". He laughed and said he loved playing since he was a little boy. I asked his wife who had he played for ;( I mean, this guy is top tier good) she too laughed a little and said he never wanted to play professionally. He predominantly just enjoyed learning and playing for his personal enjoyment. Occasionally,he played for friends ,but, never wanted to play professionally as he thought the pressures would ruin his enjoyment of playing. He also did not want to be away from his wife. As I left in shock how such an amazing artist isn't even known , he told me , if he had turned professional, it would have ruined his guitar playing, his marriage, and his life. Playing guitar was a personal experience to him. I will forever be in awe of this gentleman. I sort of see Yoni a little in this same light. He doesn't seem to be trying to impress anyone. He just plays for the true love of it.
this isn't a cover... it's a masterpiece!!!!!
Un vrai chef d'œuvre.
It also appropriates African American themes.
its a coverr anyways masterpieces are originals
I swear every video is underated as fuck
@@chamade166 And I suppose the guy with the beard is appropriating neanderthal themes?
This brought me to tears... just 3 friends casually getting together to jam and making such a beautiful sound.
The 3 of you are so lucky to have this moment together, and we're so lucky you decided to share it with us.
I totally agree!
Nothing casual about it.
Totally planned & practiced. They live where it's VERY hot so thus the relaxed clothes. The newscasters there don't wear ties. :)
Casually with multiple cameras set up.. :) That's funny.
The level of talent on that couch is mind blowing!
@@lindsayheywood7195 I’ve played many different styles of music in many different bands, all my life. But I have never been in a band that could sound as good, as amazing, as the talent on that couch. It kind of hurts, even though I love this song by these three very gifted people.
this is proof that to be an artist, you don't have to wear stage clothes or have special effects on your back! Talent and passion!
The admirable laid-back beauty of this young fair girl gives me feeling like crying. It probably contributes a bit...
Much respect. There are a lot of young people near by in Palestine that could only dream of such freedom, security or opportunity.

Toto also covered this song. Great to finally hear the original.
Nice reply!👍
That's not correct... Toto is the original... It's written by Jeff Porcaro and David Paich - two genius musicians!
@@volkermeyer2024 I know, it was just a joke as this cover is so good that it sounds as if it was their song.
@@volkermeyer2024 I know. It was just a joke honouring the quality of this incredible cover.

I’m laying here having been ill for about 3 months. This made me smile so much and was so refreshing. Thank you! Such a happy and energetic rendition.
I hope you get well !!!!!
@@robertmayor5070
Thank you! I’m recovering. Almost better.
How are you sir? hope you doing well
@@iamjustine1 I’m doing good now. Thank you!
Music... God's gift to humanity!
Music... humanity's gift to God!
Perfeito!!! Yoni vc tem muitos fans no Brasil! 🇧🇷
tem mesmo kkkkk
Isso é verdade
Tem mesmo. O cara é fera. Boa música sempre
verdade!
Com certeza!
I really can't seem to understand how your covers get better and better each time. Is there no limit???
Fantastic job, great musicianship!!
I can't believe this song is over 40 years old and it is one of the top songs on Spotify
There are some timeless pieces, that are not bound to a specific era or musical generation - this is one of them.
Because it rocks!
Doesn’t get any better than this. I’m sitting here on the beach in Florida listening to this for the first time and it’s perfection. Thank you!!
Не, в Сибири это тоже ничо звучит, но во Флориде лучше, верю .))))))
...they weren't content only to play with excellence but they made one of the best audio recordings I've ever seen on youtube. The sound capture was perfect.
Was thinking that too - great recording!
You are so right
@@liisabar8900 And it would be interesting to hear how they did that too!
They are kind enough to describe their mikes above . Not exactly crappy. And of course they know how to adjust the whole thing!
This is one of the best covers I’ve ever heard holy shit
Little by little the Band is formed.
First video of his that I’ve seen with an electric instrument
this is pure magic. these people are in love with just being alive. i thank you three for gifting us your music.
True. We must all remember to live life fully every moment!
I never get tired of this song from Toto, Africa. And every group or person who’s play the song carries the Spirit of it.
This was so awesome ! The harmonies were beautiful . Everything blended beautifully
100% this is all about the bass player. She is 🔥
This isn't only music that is awesome. Watching three of you sitting on couching sofa, having a great time together, doin what you like makes this vid full of happiness and joy. ❤

The original was made in the studio over many months. These guys were right there in front of the whole world. I’m watching them again.
I do this song I know how hard it is. You guys just are incredible with your execution. That lead solo on acoustic cutaway it was incredible. The base is beautiful and the rhythm section on that Martin is exquisite.
yoni looks so happy playing with his friends
Wonderful performance. Beautiful voices. The sound is comparable to the original. The bass player is even immensely more beautiful than the original 😊🥰
The simplicity of the sound of this cover is unparalleled. Nothing simple about the playability though. Brilliant harmonies ❤️
Wow man! Expectations of perfect guitar playing were only topped by the perfect singing performance ! these choruses were pure goosebumps !!
Amir's voice is amazing
I think this is my favourite video on UA-cam. I find myself randomly coming back to it and it always cheers me up.
Most underrated classic rock songs that people tend to forgot.
I've probably played this ten times in the last three days, and I don't think I'll stop anytime soon.
We want more collaboration like this, yoni!!! Above and beyond..
Perfect vocal harmony!
Einfach klasse. Bitte mehr davon. Das nannte ich schon immer echte Musik, da braucht's kein Studio.
Wow... Tuning, phrasing, intonation and rhythm just spot on. Great job. Truly enjoyable to listen to...
You guys sound so great together! It’s very apparent the individual talent that each of you have too! Love the chemistry between you as well!
I surrender. This trio is friggin' fabulous! And they've got such amazing voices!
This cover shows 2 things : 1- That these artists are fantastic and 2- What a song ! The bass line, the harmonizing, it's all in the original version and it shines even more in this rendition. Well done.
OMG the harmonies just melt me. This is my "driving along while singing my heart out" practice for rehearsal.
I love the chorus where all three of you are singing together! ❤
This is music. Real music from the heart.
Impressive! I love how he transcribed the keyboard solo for guitar! And such silky harmonies. Bravo!
I genuinely hope you guys are making a living from your talents. You’re all amazing musicians. Sending much love from the UK.
The best cover version of this song I've ever heard
this was really nice. but check out Kent Nishimura's cover. he basically does this, but better (IMO), and by himself.
Check out Mike Masse
I have to pick a favorite. She doesn't miss a beat, and has this smooth as butter style that i dig! Awesomeness!
Oh how I adore this! Vocally, instrumentally, in all ways, just excellent and beautiful! Thank you guys for this.
This is the best cover from África, whitout a doubt! You are (the 3) very big musicians. Congratulations!
What an inspiring band of artists. So fucking soulful
No need to use that word..there are others which do the job
Calm yourself, take a deep breath, rethink your choice of words for these amazing musicians!
It wasn’t used as a cuss word but as an expression of appreciation. It’s time to evolve and not be institutionalised by old world thinking
The timing is impeccable! It is really exquisite! Bravo on working so hard, and working so well together, to make something really magnificent!

This trio is absolutely astonishingly good lmao. For this to not be a studio version should scare audio engineers. Flawless.
The true essence of music is: THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR. VERY GOOD
I BLESSED THE RAINS
God is good.
VOCÊS TROUXERAM
A PERFEIÇÃO PARA ESSE MUNDO
I have no words to say...beautiful,fantastic!I can hear you three days with no stop!
Wow! Absolutely mind blowing!
Done to perfection 👌 .
Both singing and guitar 🎸 playing!
They sound like the original record, good job. The instrumentation too is superb.
Wow! This is one of the best covers I've ever heard. Simply amazing work from all of them but I feel Lital's awesome bass and backing vocals aren't getting as much love in the comments here as they should.
I would have liked to hear her bass more prominently in the video. Maybe it's my setup here, but I could only hear her clearly in the outro.
@@stoojinator Aye, it's your setup. Can hear her clearly with headphones.
I looooved her soooo much!
@Wayne Green almost got a close up of the african jungle @ 4:20. Yes ol mop top looks frisky
Love the original but this is even better….the purity of the voices and acoustic sound, and all three of you superb musicians.
It's amazing how much sound you can get out of just three people.
All of you gave a gift that keeps giving. What a divine and positive action.

Awesome versions!! And I'm in love with the poodle bassist!! She is so beautiful and WHAT A VOICE!!!
Просто красавчики. Раскладка по голосам отлично. Но большое уважение конечно басисту 👍👍👍😁😁😁
😉👍
Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous.
Each of these three individually is a great musician, it's true, but put the three together? Just incredible! Thank you!
I've heard this version now a dozen times. Still stunning ❤ Very very geat performance! I wished that I could play guitar and join this wonderful trio just for this song 🎸
Holy smokes!! What a dazzling trio!
You guys nailed it note for note! Toto is smiling. Good job acoustically!
Holy moly this is stupendous ❤ this is a notch up on Toto’s rendition.
Love that final bass twinge 4:17

The greatest home band))) Love it guys!
This is what happens when the right elements come together.. perfection!!
The bass player is the cherry on the cake..
Every time I watch this I fall in love with the bass player 😍✨🌹
Every time I listen to brings tears in my eyes you guys were so awesome.♡
This is amazing great job all of you I dont think Ive ever heard such a full sound coming from 3 people .
This is brutal! i can imagine a lot of work to make this song this good. One of the best songs i've heard, and a beautiful tribute
Not so hard. Yoni tells Amir and Litel to go home and learn this song. Come back tomorrow and we’ll record it. Done!
you three are a blessing to the world
Wow awesome
I wish i could sing like that
Best cover of this song I have heard…. Ever.
Check out mike masse
This is an incredible cover as all Yoni's covers are, he's a gifted musician but like the other lad said check out Mike masse cover of this as well, unbelievable voice
@@keithduggan9743 Mike's is better than Toto's

Holy sh#€%&t that was incredible. Smiling and tearing up watching you guys. Those little bass touches in the end!
Это просто шикарно! Браво!!! Мурашки.
Sad reality, we will never hear this kind of music composition in this generation.. What have we become? It's just sad.. All we can do is treasure these kind of music.
Wow guys !!! BEST COVER EVER !!!!!!!! You got so much talent all.... THANK YOU xx
MY CHEEKS HURT FROM THE HUGE SMILE OF JOY ON MY FACE...!!!!!!! This was AMAZING !!! Thank you !!!!
you beauty, That was really good. As long as there are people like you around this song will never loose its Charm...
Harmonies are on point. Guitar playing was great. Love this.
Потрясающе! Есть особая магия в акустическом исполнении!
Can never get tired listening over and over ..perfect harmony ❤
That is a very, very good performance! I like this version so much, it's really fantastic. You can be proud of yourselves.
Wonderful!
Ты так не умеешь?))))))))))
Very tight group. Will be listening to this on repeat for a bit

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is... MORE BASS, PLEASE!
Is it really possible this collaboration!!!!!! This day can't be better now
I only know the guy in the middle
רק בשיר הזה קלטתי את המבטא הישראלי. וואלה, אחלה ביצועים, גם כאן וגם בStayn' Alive. אתם פשוט מעולים. היה תענוג לראות ולהקשיב. תודה.

Beautiful cover! Great English pronunciation of lyrics!
I hope people know how hard this is to put together! Amazing you three!!!
