Dailymotion streamed “Africa at Home: Together against the Corona” in support of the fight against COVID-19

Dailymotion joined Canal+ Afrique, A+, Universal Music Group Afrique, and many African artists in the fight against COVID-19, by coming together for an exceptional charity event “Africa at Home: Together against the Corona”.

The event successfully raised awareness on the prevention and actions needed to fight COVID-19. It brought together over 70 artists, such as Didier Drogba, Magic System, Vegedream, Michel Gohou, Singuila, and many others, who reminded our global audiences, through their music and comedy performances, about the importance of social distancing and safety measures.

More than 20 African newspapers and digital media integrated Dailymotion’s live stream on their websites, including gabonactu.com, afriquematin.net, mediaguinee.com, L’Essor, L.frii, culturebene.com, abidjan.net, afrishow.net, 24heureinfo.com, and msn.com. In total, it garnered 200.000 views, reaching both local audience and diasporas in Europe. The replay videos will continue to grow this audience for 30 days.
