Who should count as an African?

The Grammy Awards have space for African music, but one year after the category entrance, it is already debatable.

The best African music screening debuted with South African to achuit his successful song, a mixture of the South African amapiano and the Africa.

It was well received during the industry, especially African artists.

But this year’s rewards candidates have raised eyebrows, especially the US R & B star in Chris Brown.

The 35-year-old has been appointed for its highest table sensational, which includes AfricaT items and has invite voice voices from Davido and Lojay Nigerian artists.

However, participating in an American artist in the African music category has sparked some discussions.

African artists should not be taken into account in order to show African talent?

“Music is about inclusiveness. We don’t want people to leave gender”, Grammy CEO Harvey Mason Jr tells BBC.

“If we start to decide a particular kind of music, we lose the essence of creativity.”

Grammy’s head explained that this is expected to be fertilization.

“We’ve seen Latin before, we’ve seen it with K-Pop and now you’re watching with Afrobeats and Amapiano,” he noted.

“We like to honor all the music (whatever) or who does it. If we celebrate great.”

Another bone this year is to dominate Afrobeats, with roots in Nigeria and Ghana.

Grammamis remains too much attention to exclude other African genres, despite demanding inclusivity.

Ayomide Tayo Music Journalist understands why Afrobeats are dominated by this year’s awards.

“I don’t think Afrobeat is better,” BBC said.

“Afrobeat has been decades for three decades. Music, Superstar and great events that attracted the world,” Lagos Tayok explained.

Nigerians who live abroad have played a key role in well-known afrobeats.

“It is a Nigerian diaspora in England and North America, one of the most important factors that explode in Europe and the US,” says Tayok.

Africa-based music businesses see a bright future for other African genre of music, saying it could be a single year.

For example, Amapiano, 2023 in 2023 exceeded 1.4 trillion streams in the music application.

Raphael Benza, the head of the Johannesburg based on the VTH season, says the name of the best performance in Africa goes against the pigeon.

“I would say I would come from Amapiano’s house (musicians) that you are doing a very good job and you will see the amapiano artists appointed in this photo next year,” BBC said.

The best African music performance category was introduced as a way to have a greater impact on global music.

When Tylla won, he won heavyweighing Nigeria as a Davido and Burna Boy, establishing its place on the international stage.

Since then, the 22-year-old is seen in New York knowledge gala and appeared in fashionable magazines, proving that the Grammy effect is real.

This year’s candidates have changed almost completely nigerian artists, a joint designation of Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, TATS and Insurance and Wizkid, as well as Davido and Lojay’s success in Chris Brown.

“To make Chris Brown, Africa and African music has been invested in music for a long time,” says Tayo, who has collaborated with Davido and Wizkid who flew to Nigeria.

“We have a nigerian joke that Chris Brown is Nigerian, because of the ways that appear in our songs and our music videos all the time.”

In Last month, he also had massive 90,000-seat concerts at a 90,000-seat stadium in Johannesburg – with people who travel on the southern African journey, the fans said it was electrify.

African musicians have won Grammis before the Award for Best Screening of Africa.

He won the first Maria Makeba in South Africa – in 1966, in 1966 he collaborated with Harry Belafonte, he just called for a belafonte / Maketa evening.

African artists were more features in 1992, entering the best music album in the world.

This category has passed several wells over the years – the inclusion of traditional and contemporary music in the world – and now it is known for global music albus.

Multipurious winners Angélique Kidjo, Youssou N’Dour, Ali Farka Touré and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

African musicians are often broken in this category, for example, South African black coffee won the Dance / Electronic Dancing in 2022.

It is expected to oppose the dominant Afrobeat, more African categories will be offered in Grammy in the coming years.

This would cover the most popular popularity that grows in African music, and is better reflected in Africa.
