After the first show, our band (still tentatively Iron Kimchi) was picking new songs to play. One song that kept coming up was Toto 'Africa'. I think everyone knows this is a really great song, and we were determined to play it. One small problem is that there are parts of the song that need a keyboard because they are just too difficult to recreate on guitar.
With some searching around and then a trip to Lotte Mart, I decided to pick up this beautiful 61 key piano. It only cost about $90 American, and definitely sounds good enough to get the job done.
All that was left, then was to learn how to play the song. Some Youtube searching uncovered this miraculous video that shows all of the notes to play to completely recreate the song. How easy is that?Actually, it's not that easy. I did learn most of the song, though, so wish me luck tonight as we play it live for the first time.
Cool! Just like guitar hero! How did the show go?
