Grammys announce Best African Music Performance category
Grammys has announced a new award category for African music called “Best African Music Performance”.
The US music industry’s top honours will now include a new category solely for African performers.
The latest move is to reflect the global appreciation for homegrown styles like afrobeats and amapiano.
Grammys said the “goal at the Recording Academy is to recognize and honor the very best in music from across the globe.”
