My dad sent me the link to this video a couple of days ago. The video has already received more than 4 million views. The group is called Perpetuum Jazile. They are an a capella jazz choir 
from Slovenia. The particular piece they do in the video is the 1982 hit "Africa" by Toto. There are absolutely no instruments used in this piece (well, one if you count the single note or chord you may hear played at the beginning for pitch if you can pick it up). All is done by the use of the voice, mouth, hands or feet. 
If you are familiar with the original song done by Toto, you may be shocked at how much like the original this rendition is. Of particular interest is the intro. When you listen to it for the first time, you may want to turn your speakers up and close your eyes. You might be surprised at what it sounds like!
Whether you close your eyes or not, put it on full screen, turn your speakers up, sit back and ENJOY!
I think you might agree that they do a fantastic job with this song.

...Ha! Ha! Scared ya', didn't I?
