Today, the entire world has joined in the celebrations of the 57th anniversary of Africa Day, an important day of observance that saw the launch of the Organisation of African Unity (AU).
Africans from all walks of life have taken the time to honour the continent credited as the cradle of human life. To play their part in celebrating this day, MTV Base Africa has partnered with YouTube to bring music fans the Africa Day At Home benefit concert.
Every African artist you can imagine, including international A-listers, will be part of these celebrations. Check out the full line-up below:
