Toto’s Africa detonating loudspeakers have been installed in the Namib Desert to play the soft rock classic in an infinite loop.

Namibian artist Max Siedentopf has set up a solar-powered sound installation in a hidden location to “keep Toto running for eternity”.

The six speakers are connected to an mp3 player with the single track from 1982 on it.
