Huge choir mimics an almighty thunderstorm using just their HANDS

When you can’t create an actual thunderstorm, just use your hands – it sounds pretty much the same.

The performance comes from the Angel City Chorale, who took on a pretty spectacular arrangement of Toto’s 1980s hit, ‘Africa’.

The choir begins by lightly rubbing their hands together to create the sound of rain, and then crescendos to a storm of sound by clicking their fingers, slapping their thighs and jumping on the (slightly unstable-sounding) stage.

Then comes the recognisable ‘do-do-do-do-do-do-do-BAH!’, followed by an absolutely glorious burst into the E-major chord that kicks off the chorus.

We’d like to be part of this choir, please.
