“Africa” in Liverpool – New Live Video with Mike Massé (Toto Cover)

US artist Mike Massé invited us to his show in Liverpool …

When Mike Massé was announcing his UK tour, one of our mutual fans suggested he got in touch with us. Well, he shot us a message and long story short, last week we joined Mike at his show at the Epstein Theatre in Liverpool to play a few songs together!

One of them was Mike’s biggest YouTube cover hit – an acoustic version of “Africa” by Toto. Initially, we only planned on uploading this to the MLT Club but Club members, as well as Mike, asked us to share it with the whole of YouTube, too. So here we go, we’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments 🙂

While Mike was over in England we also filmed and recorded a video together in our studio. Yep, you guessed right … it’ll be another Beatles Cover! 😀

It will be released on the 6th of June, so mark your calendars! MLT Club members will get Early Access to it tomorrow, the 31st of May.

Besides that, the release date for our next original video will be announced very soon!

We hope you’ll enjoy the video and love to hear back from you on YouTube or any other social media platforms. Of course, you can also always leave a comment underneath this post!

Stay groovy,
Mona & Lisa

  1. More than communicating anything, I’m thinking to myself: After the pub gig in Liverpool pub, 2015, It is more than high time to experience your show live. Puh-leeze, I know what you said about touring in 2023 in the course of the Christmas calendar 2022, but I for one among a million people, am really looking forward to a live show. Just tell me where, and I will be there!!

  2. Absolutely sublime!

  3. Harmonizing like that makes me feel like I’m in Heaven. One of the few things that brings tears of joy.
    Thank you for sharing your gift.

  4. Girls magical as ever, he was no slouch either was he superb version well done all

  5. You girls do a killer job on everything you do. Harmonies on both songs with Mike were fantastic not to mention the guitar and bass parts. You two are simply amazing. Much love for continued success.

  6. Very good!

  7. Love everything you do!

  8. Amazing singing; melody and harmony, unreal. Also, no drums and yet it didn’t matter

  9. Two rhythm guitars and a bass you can’t hear is not the best way to highlight these talented ladies. Wspecially when one of them plays a great lead. He should accompany them, not the other way around.

  10. Está muy bien se ve si talento natural y sobre todo su armonía en este y otras canciones felicidades mes agrandan sus viste y ustedes también saludos desde puerto Vallarta Jalisco México

  11. One of the finest and smoothest harmonies ever. The twins voices blended almost magically with Mike’s. Lisa’s bass part was superb and mesmirizing. Mona’s vocals were clean and smooth. Too bad you can’t get license and release that version – “Africa Unplugged”. I love that song – always have – but you took it to a whole new level that i believe surpasses the original. Pure, unaltered, unmolested music

  12. Most excellent!!!!!!!

  13. Wow…just fantastic. Wish we could have been in the audience for this show. The harmonies and musicianship are superb! All our love.

  14. Smoking hot

  15. I love the blend of the three of you! Gave me chills! Been a fan of you girls for a few years now and love everything you do! I’ve played the Cavern, The Royal Court Theatre, Adelphia & Matthew Street Festival but I think the Empire has the best acoustics out of them all!! Wish you were playing in L.A. sometime! Cheers girls!! You made my day!

    1. Don, let’s get the girls to LA!!!!!!!!!!

  16. Wonderful cover !!!

  17. Amazing forever !!! ??

  18. Having been primed by 30 years of listening to the original on “Office rock selection” this version of that original song – More. Powerful. Better! GREAT vocals!

  19. fab version beautiful vocals all round just what I expect from Mike and MLT regards Gerry from Dublin

  20. Thanks for making my day here in Norway. To Wake up and and feel so harmonic inside is Your gift to the world. My dream is to see you live some time. Please come to Oslo so it is possible for me and my girlfriend to come to Oslo. I am soon 68 and pray that you come. Your fan forever Stein

  21. Bravo!!

  22. Fantastic great harmonies loved it

  23. So clean and crisp; beautifully done. Loved it.

  24. That was really special! Keep up the great work!

  25. Thank you for an amazing collaboration!!! “Africa” has always been one of my favorite songs, and this is by far my favorite version. The fantastic MLT harmony is at its best here. Also, very nice work by Mona on guitar and Lisa on bass.

  26. You ladies just made a great song greater. Thanks

  27. Really good rendition, I really enjoyed the performance. When you guys coming to Chicago?

  28. Perfect!! the Harmonies are stellar.

  29. I wish I could have been there. Mike has a great voice but the high spots of the song were the harmonies! you girls amaze me with each new performance. By the way GREAT job on the bass, that’s was my instrument when I played in my younger days on tour. Can’t wait to hear your new projects! I Think the MLT family is awesome!

  30. It’s been said that the number one Billboard song on your 14th birthday sets the tone for your musical outlook. “Africa” was that sing for me. Nice touch on accoustics guitars and fantastic vocals all around. MLT could play with just about any decent artist. Great version of the song!

  31. So Beautiful. Better than the original. Harmonies are wonderful.

  32. Nicely done!! But I’m still dealing with my worlds colliding. I discovered Mike Masse years ago on YouTube and have watched probably every video he’s posted. Likewise, I discovered the Mona Lisa Twins years ago on YouTube, and I’ve probably watched every video they’ve posted. So, seeing them all performing together has me stunned. But it’s also convinced me, “damn, I have good taste!!” Keep playing! Keep posting! Keep surprising! I’ll keep enjoying! Cheers from Massachusetts. 🙂

  33. Essas garotas sao simplesmente incriveis lindas e grandes artistas pois nao existe coisa mais dificil que cantar e se acompanhar…lindas, talentosos.

  34. Groovy Goosebumpy Trio Triple EffectMagic MasseMLTBuzzing Worthy… Whoa…. Frikkin Fab… This goes far and above Toto’s version in my mind….. Indeed…. Couldn’t help singing along while watching… It’s so natural… As though you 3 have been gigging together all along… You all musically mesh… And that’s awesome…. Thankyou for sharing this gem… Am looking forward to the new Release later tonight in EA section here (but really in early to midmorning there in UK already).. And stoked for next new original video in near future… Kudos MLTBuzzed and Then Some!!
