    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.

      @@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..

    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.

      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.

      @@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.

    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.
