My favourite female backing vocals, Pina Del Re, absolutely amazing voice, Daniel, you surprise me every time, how similar you sound,to the original singer, you have one of the best voices, in any band. IMO.
What's interesting and incredible is that these folks cover songs that most cover bands won't even touch- it takes SERIOUS chops to play Toto, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, or ANY of the 70's & 80's bands- most of which were superbly talented musicians and songwriters.
They might be great or it might be editing/auto tune. This guitar player is great, but I noticed one in another video one who wasn't really playing. At one point he lost track of where the stings were and was struming the wood. It makes me wonder what else is heavily edited.
This is how Toto cover should be done. Period. Bands, listen to this marvelous version and learn how to do cover and not to ruin the song at all. Well done HSCC band! You did it again :)
@@davidkc1969 @Supermonkey22 It seems to me that they really nailed it here and that all those small "cosmetic" changes didn't spoil the song at all, on contrary. I'd be happy to say the same about HSCC's version of Toto's another great song 'Georgy Porgy', but I can't. HSCC played it so well, harmony is interesting, singing is great.. Just it sounds like a completely different song.. With all due respect, sometimes too much of sugar isn't excellent idea.. I understand that tastes differ but I think that some songs really don't sound so good if those are modified too much. It is not an easy task to decide what to change, what to leave intact, I know..
Go check out Mike Masse’s version. It’s not a full band but he and another guy are acoustic in a pizza parlor years ago..before this song got big..again. His vocals are unmatched, trust me.
From musician to musicians love all your work. I'm 63 now everything you do takes me back. Not just in song but the appreciation of how to perform them . Musically and vocally. Keep them coming guys. Just great to hear real musicans again.
Well only an ambitious band could tackle a Toto song ......why because it requires absolute timing, vocal pitch and a tight rhythm section HSCC yes have again delivered incredibly well just how do they keep stepping up with every song they play fantastic!!!!!!
Message to Con and Darren: Danny was terrific and great band rendition of a classic; Standing O! But......Pina Del Re is a star and deserves another lead solo! This young lady has been on a rocket ship of late. Her performances have been on fire the last couple of months. Her “Friends” was terrific, this “Africa” performance was brilliant and a game changer with style, voice, beauty! A true professional. I am all in on Pina! The world wide chant begins, “Give Pina Another Solo!!!” Respectfully from CA USA
Without demeaning the great performance of Daniel Lopestro, what I loved the most was the singing and the body lenguage of Pina Del Re. Arms, hands, facial expressions, voice... All of her transported me to a field of sensations. Bravo, Pina. Bravissimo.
Every video she is in, just moves so well, her hands, facial expression , voice, she is a pleasure to watch and listen to. She feels every song, just her movements alone amazing singer...love Pina....
How anyone could ever give this band a thumbs down is beyond me…..🤔 They deserve way more recognition. If they put out an album I’d buy it. Love them.🥰
This is arguably the best cover song I've ever heard!!! I can appreciate all of the magical touches and creative nuances of the original version present in this incredible performance. Huge honor to Toto. CONGRATULATIONS HSCC!
@@LJW55 lead vocalist sings David Paich's part. Paich usually sang the lowest vocal parts in Toto's songs. The highest vocals in the chorus of Africa is the lead singer Bobby Kimbal, middle part is Lukather. So it's just fine that the lead in Africa doesn't sing the high vocals. Neither was the case in the original song.
Africa is one of those songs that most would never attempt to cover, but this was special! The musicianship and vocals are seconded to none. You stayed so true to the original while also including that third iconic drum fill Jeff played in concert. If that wasn’t enough, you then took it to the next level by injecting a fantastic HSCC arrangement that made it your own. This was more than a cover, this was a tribute to TOTO and the late great Jeff Porcaro. I’m sure after the last note was played there were smiles, because you all knew something very special just happened.
What are u talking about. You say that that was a good cover of Pocaco . Lmao. This guy doesn’t even play the right groove. Jeff plays 16 high hats and rim on two and for. This guy plays a 8 high hat and a fat snare on two and four, and u say it is a Good Cover haha. Jeff plays this fills fat and loud life, bout this guy plays it as quiet as it is played in the studio. ua-cam.com/video/fw4ZunPirsY/v-deo.html that is the real Africa
Your comments are noted. Whether you’re hearing 8th notes, 16th notes, or comparing the fills to the way Jeff Porcaro played is open to opinion. They’re your opinions and I respect them, but “LMAO”? What is that all about? Not very humble my friend. After all it’s a cover, an interpretation, not a mirror image to the song. In my opinion, yes, you’re right, some things were not played note for note and phrased exactly like the late great Jeff Porcaro. But that’s okay, because I never expect that in any cover song. By the way, the fellow drummer you’re referring to,....his name is Mario Marino, someone I’m sure we both can learn a lot from.
@@ariesred777 If by "real thing of each original" you mean live performance by the original artist, then I very strongly disagree. More often than not, for reasons that I will die before I understand, performers insist on deviating from the recorded version of a song. I find this quite annoying because what is often changed is the song's great moments. I always have to wonder and want to ask the artist, "if you thought this was better, why did you not record it that way?" Thank goodness for HSCC, who make it possible for us to enjoy live performances of good music as it was originally intended to be heard.
@@bxf99999 Perhaps a larger income by trying to copy each original artists voice HSCC lead is copying numerous accredited singers already famous for their songs regardless of how it's presented.Nothing innovative about that.
@@ariesred777 I don't give a flying hockey puck about innovation. It does not contribute at all to my musical enjoyment. If you want to give more credit to an artist for being innovative, creative, etc, that's fine, but the level of originality does not come close to affecting the music I hear as do orchestration, arrangement, quality of vocals, harmony etc, etc.
The canvas that makes the beauty of this song is the refrain: "It's going to take a lot to drag me away from you...". And it is executed with great talent by the great Pina and the imperial Darren ❤❤❤👏👏👏👏 STANDING OVATION
I saw the then Toto lineup play on 7th March 2008 at the Palais Theatre Melbourne Australia and they finished the set with Africa. Sorry, Toto no disrespect, but HSCC cover is so tight and mixed so well it captures the original Toto sound and vocals, and if you close your eyes you would think you were listening to the original lineup of the early '80s. Toto only played one concert in 2008. Thank you HSCC
what a beautiful rendition of my fav song. AND who better than Daniel to pull it off, and with Pina a perfect combination. Thankful to all the muso's in this clip - love it .... thank you Con and Darren
Maravillosa interpretación de los australianos de hscc de esta canción emblemática de totto en los años 80. Felicidades 👏 desde Quito Ecuador Sudamérica la mitad del mundo 🌎.
The musicians Con and Darren assemble are incredible! A great cover of 'Africa.' Never heard of Daniel Lopresto before--brother, you are no joke! Great vocs, Daniel, Pina, Darren, and Dave!
I've probably heard at least a dozen different covers of this song and this is the best yet. Vocals were stunning. I'm constantly amazed at how well your various artists are matched so perfectly to the various covers. Every song HSCC produces is golden.
Just listening, shouting my mouth, and while my tears are running down my face cause i lived for 20 years in black Africa, i'm thinking how much Toto can be so proud about you all! You are fantastic! Much respect!!!
I got to listen to Hscc by coincidence and what a coincidence it was. I am a musician and must admire this band's effort in replicating originals in the best and better way possible. soooooo good. Thank you Hscc.
I recenty read Steve Lukather’s autobiography, he mentions how complicated the recording of the song was and how difficult the high notes. It only emphasises the incredible talent of HSCC.
I love hearing Daniel sing and Piña just compliments everyone she sings with. Whether in a group or solo, she just brings it. And the band, hittin’ on all cylinders. I thoroughly enjoyed this performance. Be blessed from Alexandria, VA.
By far..and better than any cover band in the world that can play music that just thrills my soul and reflect back on. Ive been around music all my life..can pick out harmony and some of the best voices and players over a 50 year history....you guys nail it every time..awesome job
Wow ♥️I'm with no words because this is too awesome to describe...this is the best rendition of this classic toto song I ever heard...I'm sure a million people would agree... holy cow.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ah WONDERFUL Cover🎶 The Band played this "MUCH" BETTER 🎸 than the ORIGINAL 🎹 And oh my "THE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, Ms. Pina really brought it all "Together" with her Voice🎙️ ❣️❣️❣️
as a long time musician who really appreciates pride and passion...i can only say this...there is a whole lot of passion in that room right there and you can here it..that bass player is just pocket with that drummer and they keys are just spot on..and borther on the guitar bringing it all in..and who ever made the decision to put these 2 singers together..golden..an absolute great pairing and you guys realy just did this song justice...awesome
Your outstanding performance keeps bringing smiles to the whole world week after week. Your passion for your work clearly reflects on your wonderful execution!!!
fantastic band as always .... Mr. Lopresto is perfect and Pina Del Re illuminates the stage with her brilliance, her talent and her voice. 👋🏻😜 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Está quase que perfeita essa reprodução, com excessao do solo do teclado que deveria ser executado com as duas mãos sendo oitavado, o resto está ótimo.
4 роки тому
@@vagnerfonseca2354 , o solo original não é oitavado, não. é feito em intervalos de quartas e terceiras, se não estou em erro. Nesta versão o teclado faz uma voz, e o guitarrista faz a outra. Se vocês for ouvir o original, a guitarra não tem papel nenhum relevante.
@ negativo, eu tinha essa música em meu repertório, tocavamos totalmente original, inclusive eu era o tecladista da banda e guitarrista solo, por isso como músico discordo.
This band can "tear it up!" 'Totally impressed with how they can sing and play to perfection... anything! They all have smiles and look like they are enjoying themselves when they play, a bonus. A very talented group for sure. I love this band. Come to Canada. To all of you, WELL DONE!!
I loved every minute of this performance. The tempo was a bit slower than the original but you guys made it work so well that you can hear every instrument being played here. HSCC, you are No. 1 in my book.
Wow. Just wow. Everyone is a musician on this stage,this is something special. Rare to see this type of chemistry where 1. Everyone absolutely loves their respective instruments 2. They all simply want to have some fun. As a musician for 30 years, much, much respect. Flawless execution, brought tears to my eyes. 5/5
These are some of the best musicians working today! Definitely the best cover band I have ever heard as well. Love this band! They make me FEEL. That is what music is all about! Thank you for this! As a comedic side note: I had no idea Ronnie James Dio was such a good guitarist! :)
This song, is not for everyone. This version, is incredible! Excellent! All in their places. No fissures. Congratulations! Greetings from Argentina! Don't you want to come to play to Buenos Aires? You're great! In fact, yesterday, one of your videos "woman in love" was shown in a great programme "Oldies but Goldies" in CM channel.
When it comes to Africa I always seek out things to complain but on this one I couldn't find anything... Much love from Zambia for doing just to my favorite song, everything from the instruments, to the lady singing the chorus was perfect... P.s the lead singer wearing a t-shirt of one of my favorite bands was a much needed icing on the cake
OH my gosh!! Can you guys read my mind? Every one of my favourite songs of all time is being done by you guys!! I just have to say you guys always find a way to improve the original versions!! I'm not lying when I say that you guys are the best band I've heard in many, many years!! I've really got to get all of Canada to hear you guys!! take good care!! Pete
I love this band and appreciate their rendition of 'Africa' , 'Nineteen', 'Crazy', 'Leila' and many others. They sing a lot of classics from the 80's and do it really well. It's not always the same singer but the singer always seems to match the song. The musicians who play the various instruments are excellent and the sounds are blended well and come out just right. Would love to see this band live in a nice place with a nice drink.
My favourite female backing vocals, Pina Del Re, absolutely amazing voice, Daniel, you surprise me every time, how similar you sound,to the original singer, you have one of the best voices, in any band. IMO.

보컬, 사운드, 리듬 완전 대박!!
원곡 CD 듣는거보다 나은듯.★★★★★
OUTSTANDING. Words. Fail. Me. You've done it yet again!
Exactly.
Está quase que perfeita essa reprodução, com excessao do solo do teclado que deveria ser executado com as duas mãos sendo oitavado, o resto está ótimo.
@@vagnerfonseca2354 , o solo original não é oitavado, não. é feito em intervalos de quartas e terceiras, se não estou em erro. Nesta versão o teclado faz uma voz, e o guitarrista faz a outra. Se vocês for ouvir o original, a guitarra não tem papel nenhum relevante.
@ negativo, eu tinha essa música em meu repertório, tocavamos totalmente original, inclusive eu era o tecladista da banda e guitarrista solo, por isso como músico discordo.
This band can "tear it up!" 'Totally impressed with how they can sing and play to perfection... anything! They all have smiles and look like they are enjoying themselves when they play, a bonus. A very talented group for sure. I love this band. Come to Canada.
To all of you, WELL DONE!!
I loved every minute of this performance. The tempo was a bit slower than the original but you guys made it work so well that you can hear every instrument being played here. HSCC, you are No. 1 in my book.
Good Lord this guy's voice is so on point it's insane
2:51 - 3:06: Dave Ross makes it look so easy, but it really isn't. Absolutely perfect.
Wow. Just wow. Everyone is a musician on this stage,this is something special. Rare to see this type of chemistry where 1. Everyone absolutely loves their respective instruments 2. They all simply want to have some fun.
As a musician for 30 years, much, much respect. Flawless execution, brought tears to my eyes. 5/5
Sin duda un tema para deleitar los 80s en la interpretación de HSCC ...Por que la banda HSCC No toca toda la música, "sólo la mejor"👌😊👍
These guys are awesome
Pina's backing vocals are superb!!!!!
Not the silly earrings, surely?
Well done guys! Daniel and Pina's vocals compliment each other nicely.
These are some of the best musicians working today! Definitely the best cover band I have ever heard as well. Love this band! They make me FEEL. That is what music is all about! Thank you for this!
As a comedic side note: I had no idea Ronnie James Dio was such a good guitarist! :)
When Pina takes off around 3:30, it's a rush! Great job!
This song, is not for everyone. This version, is incredible! Excellent! All in their places. No fissures. Congratulations! Greetings from Argentina! Don't you want to come to play to Buenos Aires? You're great! In fact, yesterday, one of your videos "woman in love" was shown in a great programme "Oldies but Goldies" in CM channel.
Argentina knows good music.... much love from New Zealand bro!
Mr Mario groove master Marino,you did all Jeff Porcaro fans proud, well done. 😎
Vince Perrotta 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Queria curtir umas mil vezes. Todo dia eu volto aqui pra escutar essa OBRA DE ARTE! E geralmente nunca consigo escutar só uma vez, sempre repito.
Fantastic sounds from HSCC. You can hear everything instrument being played here. Just Fantastic.
When it comes to Africa I always seek out things to complain but on this one I couldn't find anything... Much love from Zambia for doing just to my favorite song, everything from the instruments, to the lady singing the chorus was perfect... P.s the lead singer wearing a t-shirt of one of my favorite bands was a much needed icing on the cake
Oh God!!! That's it. I'm sold to HSCC. Their song choices. Ugh. They're after my own heart ❤️
This cover by the way is 👌
One of the greatest bands I have ever heard, in love with HSCC!!
Smooth as silk. HSCC is pure enjoyment.
This group is the kind you would stand in line in the rain to see...(USA)
Oh yeah!
OH my gosh!! Can you guys read my mind? Every one of my favourite songs of all time is being done by you guys!! I just have to say you guys always find a way to improve the original versions!! I'm not lying when I say that you guys are the best band I've heard in many, many years!! I've really got to get all of Canada to hear you guys!! take good care!! Pete
Pitch perfect awesomeness. I wish our cover band back in 1987 was a 10th as good as this masterpiece. Brilliance.
I’m at a loss for words. My goose bumps will have to do for now.
Every cover I've heard is very good. Daniel / Jordan combo on ' Easy Lover ' is exceptional.
“There’s nothing that another band or two could ever do.” Great Performance as always!❤️
I love this band and appreciate their rendition of 'Africa' , 'Nineteen', 'Crazy', 'Leila' and many others. They sing a lot of classics from the 80's and do it really well. It's not always the same singer but the singer always seems to match the song. The musicians who play the various instruments are excellent and the sounds are blended well and come out just right. Would love to see this band live in a nice place with a nice drink.
