We had the pleasure of joining Mike Masse for a few songs at the Epstein Theatre in Liverpool. Here’s a video of us doing Toto’s “Africa” together.
A big thanks to Mike for inviting us to join him on stage. It was our pleasure!
Hope you enjoy the performance!
Stay groovy,
Mona & Lisa

Toto performing Africa live is magical especially with David Paich as the lead singer. However, there is a simplicity and beauty when three ultra talented musicians come together to replicate a masterpiece like Africa. I'm grateful that they have put this iconic piece of music here for the world to enjoy again and again.

Great cover version! Hearing this song always reminds me of my childhood growing up in Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Toto’s founding members Jeff, Mike and Steve Porcaro were our next door neighbors before the family packed their bags and moved to Los Angeles to pursue their musical dreams. They were great neighbors and friends.

The way the split from unison into three-part harmony is special.

@russherrell9225 Год назад

I would like to point out that a strong unison segment like that is usually harder to do well than the harmony parts, and few groups do them live anywhere close to as well as this ad hoc trio did. These three are extremely talented and really nailed this part. Just watch some awards show where a couple of big names try to do a song together with just a couple days of rehearsals.... This performance is a whole new level of professional.

This is just a fantastic cut and everyone deserves kudos, but I have to send out a special applause for Lisa Wagner's bass playing on this cut. I think Lisa has grown into one of the best lead guitarists around, but hearing her on bass makes me wonder just how incredibly talented this lovely lady is... just amazing. And everything she does is understated ... leads, licks, anything ... it's always perfect, but never done in an egoistic manner. I have total respect for both of the girls, but Lisa really did a wonderful job here.
