Africa in the Namibian Desert

Today I learned that someone set up a solar powered MP3 and speaker system in the middle of the Namibian desert to play "Africa" by Toto for the rest of time. Imagine being hopelessly lost in the Namibian desert and you start hearing Africa playing somewhere over the dunes You're like “okay that’s pretty surreal but a definite sign of human life, which means I’m saved” but then you get closer and it’s just this thing

A series of tweets jokes about discovering solar-powered MP3 players and speakers scattered across the Namibian desert, permanently playing Toto’s “Africa.” A lost traveler would mistake the surreal music for proof of human life, only to find bizarre white speaker boxes in the dunes.
