AFRICA!!!! this song has been on my to do list for quite a while now... When I heard Weezer's version of Africa I was reminded how awesome the song is...it's seriously the perfect song to do acapella :) I'm so happy I was finally able to do it! Anyways, hope you enjoy my acapella version of Africa by Toto

I can’t believe how talented Jared is. He can sing in the same voice as Freddie Mercury, Michel Jackson, Elton John, John Denver and more. And the music he mimics is astounding.
I saw Toto play in Olympic Park in Seoul back in 1996, and I sang my heart out to "Africa." Boy do I love this song. Sometimes I just want to go back and listen to old favorites to bring me back to those days and put a smile on my face after a long day. Your version is now my go-to for "Africa," and boy does it put a big smile on my face, especially with your dancing!
Still can’t get over the fact that a continent is named after this meme🤪🤪

One of my favourite videos on the internet, hands down.
Jared, you are so underrated. You just gave me goosebumps with this talent of yours. Wish I could sing like you! Well done. 🎶
That range holy crap 😳😱 perfect pick Jared!
15% of the time: enjoying Jared's amazing singing the other 85% : finding the dancing man The top left particularly left me in stitches - he literally sings the 5 beats going into the chorus and the rest of the time is just being spectacular. And mouthing the words. Dear Jared - you are Jared. You may sing with the other Jareds. It is ok.
I swear Jared I have watched this about 15 times over 6 months! Its so good dude! It brings back my memories from highschool from being in Madrigal. Thank you again for your time! ;-)
I’m back here constantly to rewatch this. So love this song Jared and the dad dancing. It’s incredible
This song has inspired me to go to church in South Africa so I can pray for the precipitation that happens there.
This makes me think that I've never appreciated acapella enough...really well done!

Jared Halley - THIS was TOTALLY AMAZING!!!! Loved it!!! Thank you for sharing! I'm beyond words...it was so good, and fun to watch!!!!
Best acapella song EVER, and you absolutely make it even more amazing! Such talent.
How about a best of the 80s compilation.
This video brings me joy on so many levels, and the dancing just adds that much more delight. Excellent job!
Absolutely fantastic!! Thank You!! Such incredible talent.
Multiple Africa's from parallel universes blessed this piece!
After a stressed busy morning, this really made me smile! I loved it. The dance moves were great, and the soul seen from the awesome multiple performances were great! Thanks!! Hope to see more.
Beautifully done! The harmonizing is just *so* perfectly blended and satisfying to hear, especially with my earbuds in. Plus the couple frames of dancing around always make me laugh. Thanks for helping me wake up with a smile today!
I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in, 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
This was just so incredible! Loved every second of it ❤️
THIS WAS AWESOME!!!! Also looks like it took a lot of work, nice job for sure!
You are freakin’ awesome Jared! I’ve secretly rocked out in the car and been a worship leader for many years. God has blessed you with some amazing talent. I love the dancing too. Gave me a lift in my spirit today. Thanks and God Bless!
