'Africa' by Toto to play on eternal loop in Namib desert

Namibian artist Max Siedentopf has set up a sound installation Toto forever in the coastal Namib Desert to play the song 'Africa' by Toto on loop. He has chosen an undisclosed spot in the 55-million-year-old Namib desert to set up six speakers attached to an MP3 player with the single track on it. Mr Siedentopf told the BBC it is set to play forever, with solar batteries "to keep Toto going for all eternity", he said, "but I'm sure the harsh environment of the desert will devour the installation eventually."
