More than 30 years after Toto released their beloved song “Africa,” an artist has created the ultimate homage to the one of the internet’s favorite anthems.
Max Siedentopf, a Namibian-German artist, created the installation, which is meant to stay for for eternity, Maxim reports.
“Even though ‘Africa’ by Toto was released 1982 it is still very much present in today’s pop culture and frequently used for memes and even entire Reddit pages are dedicated to the song,” he says.
The installation consists of an MP3 player connected to 6 speakers, all powered by solar energy.
The artist doesn’t reveal the exact location of the installation but shared a map of Namibia with the 1,200 mile-long Namib Desert circled.
“[It’s] like a treasure that only the most loyal of Toto fans can find,” Siedentopf told CNN.
This isn’t the first time “Africa” by Toto has permeated into present day pop culture. Even though three decades have passed since the song’s release, there’s a Twitter account that tweets the lyrics to the song throughout the day, and Weezer released a cover of the song this past summer.
