The Sound of Rain
透過網友 Lyn 的 email, 看到一段影片叫作 "The Sound of Rain",是一個很多人的
團體,由一個指揮帶領,透過摩擦手部,彈指頭,拍手,拍腿,以及跳踩舞台地板,做
出逼真的下雨打雷效果,是一個非常有創意且博得滿堂彩的表演. 但我看到這
段影片結束前, 指揮舉起了手,這是告訴團員說 : "我們要開始唱了". 我知道這
是一個合唱團, 而且現在才要開始而已......
於是再度發揮 Google 和 YouTube 精神, 找到了更完整的資料,
原來這個合唱團體叫 Perpetuum Jazzile,來自 Slovenia, 合唱的歌涵蓋了Jazz,
Gospel, Fusion,及一些流行歌曲,其特色為合聲優美有默契, 常以 A Capoella 和
Percussion Vocalist ( 拿 Mic 耍嘴皮"恰-碰-恰-碰-"那個人 ),有時也加上電子樂器
來做表演. 這段影片是先模擬在非洲大草原上的打雷下雨,再演唱 Toto 合唱團
1982 年 2 月 Billborad 冠軍曲 "Africa". (Vincent 081109 / Computer1240.com)

"Africa" lyrics :
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 long 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
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
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
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you (*)
