Several friends have sent links to this wonderful video of the song AFRICA. It starts with creating the sound effects of a rain storm. Click here or on the sidebar. I can just see doing this with a whole group of kids! Music teachers?

The rock band Toto scored their biggest hit with this song in 1982. 

But it has been reinvented. Perpetuum Jazzile is an a cappella jazz choir from Slovenia. Group members simulate an African thunderstorm with their hands.

Turn up the volume to high …. and close your eyes!  Be patient as it starts softly before the vol really picks up. Enjoy!
