Is it David Paich singing lead vocals on this one? The guy singing in the video is playing keyboards in the video for "Rosanna," which would seem to fit Paich. It's clearly not Bobbie Kimball, who has to sit with the rest of the band and shake a maraca in the video. john k 17:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Original research?
This following paragraph seems to be original research, so I have removed it from the article.
- The outline on the single's cover art is a visual pun on the shape of the continent of Africa, and it resembles a silhouette of a human face. Notably the face can be identified as an example of the early human Australopithecus africanus.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Toto - Africa.jpg
Image:Toto - Africa.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Another song called "Africa", by Rose Laurens
French singer Rose Laurens had an international hit called "Africa", also in 1983. Possibly to avoid confusion with Toto's song, it is often referred to as "Africa (Voodoo Master)". --217.232.195.43 16:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
