A music video of the 80’s classic song “Africa” by Toto reportedly made by oil field workers aboard the “Bourbon Peridot” vessel in Equatorial Guinea is making the internet rounds, and while it’s very entertaining, little information about the operation is available.
The You Tube post states, “Our own version of the music video for “Africa” by Toto we made on our boat in Equatorial Guinea in West Africa.” The crew appears to work for Subsea 7, an offshore oil field services provider, but the Bourbon Peridot is not listed as one of its vessels on the company’s website.
We were hoping to provide a bit more technical information about the project and what these talented lip syncers are working on when not making music videos, but Subsea 7 has yet to respond to our enquiry. Stay tuned for updates and enjoy the video!
