The organizer of Grammy Awards, has created a category for ‘Best African Music Performance.’
The category was one of three new ones introduced by the academy in a statement released on Tuesday on its website.
Best Pop Dance Recording and Best Alternative Jazz Album are the other two new categories.
According to the statement, nominations for the new categories will begin with next year’s show.
“The addition of the Best African Music Performance category reflects how African acts such as Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Tems—along with the rise of the Afrobeats genre—have become global chart-topping stars and streaming juggernauts,” according to the release.
The Grammy “Best African Music Performance” category accepts contemporary and traditional African music, such as Afrobeats, Afro-pop, Amapiano, High Life, Fuji, and others.
