The birthday gift they'll laugh at, and feel ridiculously loved
What is an African birthday video?
An African birthday video is a personalized greeting video from Africa. You tell us who it's for and what to say. We write their name on the board, print the photo you upload, and then the whole crew performs your message live: we shout it out, dance to the song you picked and kiss the photo at the end. The finished African greeting video is 40-60 seconds long and lands in your inbox in 1-2 days.
People send our greeting videos from Africa as a birthday gift for mom, dad, a brother, a sister, a best friend or a partner who lives far away. Most videos we film are birthday wishes, but we also perform anniversaries, Valentine's messages, thank-yous, apologies and congratulations. Any language works, we read it exactly as you write it.
African birthday wishes are our specialty
More than 3 out of 4 greeting videos we film are birthday wishes. But an African greeting video works for almost any occasion: anniversaries, Valentine's Day, thank-yous, apologies, graduations and congratulations.
Birthday surprises
The classic African birthday video: their photo, a song and the birthday message of your choice. Add Sing Happy Birthday and we sing it before the dance kicks off.
