You’ve surely heard of the Grammy Awards, right? That big music celebration where the most talented artists receive awards for their incredible music! This year, something really special happened at the Grammy Awards: a brand new category for African music was created!
Even though no African artist won an award this time, the mere existence of a category dedicated to African music shows how important it has become in the world of music. Thanks to artists like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Tiwa Savage who have made people all around the world happy with their amazing music.
But it’s not just good news for the big artists we already know. It also means that new African artists will have a better chance to showcase their talent all around the world. Perhaps one day, you’ll also be listening to their music wherever you go!
But wait, there’s more! The music industry in Africa is growing more and more. More people are listening to music, and it’s becoming a real business. Companies like Showmax in South Africa are helping people listen to music online, like Netflix but for music!
African companies like Aristokrat and Davido Music Worldwide are also helping African artists become famous worldwide. It’s really cool to see how music can unite people, isn’t it?
So, the next time you hear an African song, remember that music knows no boundaries and can make us all dance together, no matter where we come from !
