Better Toto Song: Africa or Rosanna?

Mr. Blue Sky said

I think Marty Graw was unaware that In Your Eyes and Rosanna were both written about Rosanna Arquette... To be fair, i was yesterday years old when i found out that In Your Eyes was written about her.

But i dont get the relation between In Your Eyes and Africa(?)

So Gabriel doesn’t deny that the song is partially inspired by his relationship at the time with Rosanna Arquette - but he says the song is heavily inspired by African religion. There’s a supporting vocal in the song’s coda by Youssou N’Dour, singing in his native Senegalese language.
