This Sunday, we dive into the timeless classic “Africa” by Toto, a quintessential 80s anthem. Released in 1982 as part of their album Toto IV, this song quickly became iconic for its lush synth arrangements, evocative lyrics, and unforgettable chorus. “Africa” topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983, capturing the essence of the era with its dreamy, atmospheric sound that resonates with the synthwave genre. Its intricate blend of rock, jazz, and African rhythms makes it a perfect feature for Synthwave 80s Sundays, reminding us of the decade’s rich musical tapestry.
