The much anticipated All Africa Music Awards will on Saturday hold after the event was postponed few weeks back due to logistics reason.
The annual event will take place in Lagos.
In aligning with the vision and objectives of All Africa Music Award, Africa’s leading urban music channel, Channel O, has thrown its weight behind AFRIMA by endorsing one of the categories of AFRIMA, the Best R n B Song of the Year.
In line with the agreement signed between Electric Media Network, owner of Multichoice and AFRIMA Awards Limited, the category will now be known as Best R n B Song in Africa brought to you by Channel O.
Contending for the Best R n B Song of the Year in 2014 are musical acts from the African continent: Davina Green from Zimbabwe with the track Every Time, Isabel Novella from Mozambique with the track Moya, Maurice Kirya from Uganda with the track The Blue Dress, 2Face from Nigeria with the track Dance in the Rain, Vanessa Mdee from Tanzania with the track Come Over and Wahu from Kenya with the track For You.
The winner in this category and all the categories of AFRIMA are decided via online voting and the AFRIMA academy, which ended on November 25, 2014.
Meanwhile on December 27, 2014, a winner will emerge at the award ceremony in Lagos.
Channel O is a South Africa-based music channel, which first started transmission in the early 1990s.
AFRIMA, which is in partnership with the African Union Commission, is proudly supported by Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment; Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation; and PRMAFRICA among others.
It is sponsored by Kenya Airways, Procter and Gamble, Peugeot, Diamond Bank and UBER.
