Musicana was a movie project from Disney Animation Studios, considerated since 1970 by the illustradors Wolfgang Reitherman(one of The Nine Old Men) and Mel Shaw, as a sequence for the animation movie Fantasia. Several conceptual art came to be prepared for the segments of this movie, many produced by John Lasseter(Pixar Animation Studios's owner), early in his career. A documentary on this unrealized work appears in the 2010 edition of Fantasia.
The initial idea was to design sequences what you traveled through in specific countries, accompanied by a composition or composer directly related to the country.
AFRICA
This sequence, is officially called The Rain God.
