Mark your calendars,The Farmer’s Bride Requires Care! Part 2: The Organic Grand Strategy (2021) Toto fans: in 2019, the '80s power ballad "Africa" reached its zenith.
The internet's favorite rock song about the rains in Africa is now playing on a constant, endless loop... in Africa. Specifically, the Namib Desert. It's a project conceived by Namibian-German artist Max Siedentopf, appropriately titled "Toto Forever."

There's just one song loaded into the player. You know what it is. Solar energy keeps the whole thing running "for all eternity," according to the artist.

It's not clear exactly where the art installation lives. The Namib Desert spans a significant portion of Africa's western coast. A map on Siedentopf's website showing the installation's approximate location covers a plot of land that runs through two whole nations: South Africa and Namibia.
The artist explained his intent in an email exchange with NPR. "I was very intrigued by this and wanted to pay the song the ultimate homage and physically exhibit 'Africa' in Africa," Siedentopf wrote. "The Namibian desert — which is, with 55 million years, the oldest desert in the world — seemed to be the perfect spot for this."
He went on to explain that he sees "Toto Forever" as "a treasure that only the most loyal of Toto fans can find."
