One of our favorite covers of the hundreds Umphrey’s McGee has played over the years is their take on Toto’s ’80s classic “Africa.” On December 19, 2013 the band offered a version of the tune at the Mayan Holidaze festival in Mexico that featured a change to the song’s familiar lyrics.

After UM and Mayan Holidaze attendees withstood rains at the beginning of Mayan Holidaze the band altered “Africa” to “Mexico.” An amazing professionally-shot video of the performance, which incorporates footage from the scene at Holidaze, has been posted on the Cloud 9 Adventures YouTube channel:
