Grammy Awards 2025: Who should count as Africa?
“We’ve seen it with Latin before, we saw it with K-Pop and now start seeing it with Afrobeats and AMapiano,” he says.
“We like to celebrate all the music (regardless of the care) or who created, whoever created. If excellent, we want to celebrate it.”
This year is a bone of another controversy, nigeria and the dominance of Afrobeads with roots in Ghana.
Despite the challenges of grammys, the subtlety, Grammys, the exclusion of other African music genres, there is a feeling for the exclusion of other African music genres.
Nigerian Music Journalist Ayomide Tayo says why this year’s priority is predominant.
“I don’t think afobeats are better,” says BBC.
“It’s just so much more than three decades of aphrobead. We consistently push the world,” said Lagos based Tayo.
Nigerians living abroad played a very important role in the popularity of Afrobead.
“The Nigerian Diaspora in England and North America is one of the main factors that Afrobeats exploded in Europe and the United States,” Tayo.
Other African-based music business experts said that when looking into a bright future for other African music genres, he could have been one-time this year.
