The Angel City Chorale is a non-profit community choir based in Los Angeles, California. The choir was formed to give back to the city via donations and volunteering through entertainment and music.

In the video below, the Angel City Chorale, led by artistic director Sue Fink, sings a well-known 1980s rock song, “Africa,” that was made famous by the American rock band Toto. But this choir puts their own, unique spin on it. At the start of their performance, choir members rub their hands together. It starts with a couple of them, but soon everyone joins in.

This might seem strange at fist, but if you close your eyes, it starts to sound like wind blowing through grass while a storm looms in the horizon. Then, the choir transitions to snapping their fingers. This mimics the sound of rain falling to the ground. As they move from finger snapping to slapping their thighs, it becomes evident that the storm has finally arrived. Lights flash in the background as members jump to simulate lightning and thunder.

This is a unique, innovative performance that is certainly something you have never seen before. This group is so talented!
