Hear the drums echoing tonight.

Overview

How many times can you listen to Toto's 'Africa' in one sitting? Not sure? Well, you're about to find out. Drums will echo and quiet conversation will be whispered at Black Bear Lodge's entire evening dedicated to appreciating the almost 35-year-old song. And yes, the rains will be blessed.

It's gonna take a lot to take anyone away from a whole night focused on Toto's finest moment, even though the American band actually had some other catchy tracks. You'd expect that you won't be hearing 'Rosanna', which is commonly assumed to refer to actress Rosanna Arquette. Or 'Hold the Line', the track that first put them on the map.

Instead, it's 'Africa' all the way from 7pm on January 11, and there's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do to stop it. If you think you might find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies, think again. But, as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti, we're betting that somewhere there'll be a screen playing the music video on repeat as well.
