Every May, we commemorate Africa Month, marking a time when the colours of African heritage and the bright promise of its future are brought to the forefront through vibrant celebrations. This year, we’re thrilled to spotlight these celebrations to a global audience through a few programs, including a collaboration with the Office Of The African Union Chairperson’s Youth Envoy to invite the world to #DiscoverMyAfrica through the power of YouTube Shorts.
Here are 4 ways to join the celebrations.
Get Ready to #DiscoverMyAfrica
Imagine a month-long digital party where YouTube Shorts creators from across Africa share bite-sized glimpses into their world – think mouthwatering food, vibrant fashion, infectious music, breathtaking travel, and everything in between. There is a trending songs playlist to help creators spark their creativity.
Want to join the fun? Follow the #DiscoverMyAfrica hashtag on YouTube and social media to watch the videos and learn more about Africa. Even better, head over to YouTube to create a Short of your own showcasing your best of Africa and share it with the world!

Together, these playlists showcase the incredible diversity and dynamism of African music. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a curious newcomer, these playlists are your invitation to discover the rhythmic pulse of Africa.
