YouTube is a platform that helps music lovers discover music they connect with. The platform has enabled musical enthusiasts to gain access to, and inspiration from music from across the globe. In Africa, YouTube has played an essential role in the discovery and development of the African sound, exporting African music to listeners worldwide, enabling collaborations within the global and regional music industry, and accelerating the transition to digital for fans on the continent.
“We are very excited to be able to bring Sinach’s A Celebration of Joy Concert to people in their homes this last Easter Sunday,” Awofisayo added.
