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.

The Christmas runaround got you worn out and frazzled? The Grinches and Scrooges getting on your last nerve? Well, sit down, take a well-deserved break with a 4 minute dose of these guys, "Straight No Chaser" and their rather amusing version of "The 12 Days of Christmas". They get the first two verses right, but then it's just downhill from there. Cheers!

astounding... is there a name for this natural phenomenon... "Lenticular couds" is the only name I know of, the reason I put that into the file name. The original source had a textual description of the process ... I could capture that as well, if anyone is really interested.

yes that's the name of it... I looked it up in Google... it seems that even in our small country it was seen, mostly in high placez... I've never seen such a natural phenomenon and probably will never see (only in picturez) because I live in the coastal plane ...
