Throwback Thursday: David Paich discusses Toto's "Africa"Description
This Throwback Thursday episode of Chris DeMakes A Podcast revisits Episode 133, originally aired on December 12th, 2022, featuring the legendary David Paich of Toto. With the recent release of the HBO Original Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary, in which Paich is prominently featured, this conversation about Toto’s iconic hit "Africa" feels more relevant than ever. Paich shares the story behind the 1982 smash hit, detailing its writing, recording, release, and enduring legacy as one of the most beloved songs of all time. The episode also includes a surprising moment when Chris brings a subtle detail in the song’s intro to Paich’s attention—something the songwriter had never noticed before. It's an insightful and entertaining exploration of a timeless classic.
