The music property recognizes and rewards the work and talent of myriad of African artists from the old to the new generation of musicians.
About the AFRIMA trophy:
The AFRIMA Winner is rewarded at the Main Awards Show with a 23.9 Karat Gold Plated trophy that blends traditional and contemporary elements of music -the African Djembe drum and a microphone.
The Djembe drum is a musical instrument of the Bamana people of Mali and the word ‘Djembe’ is coined from a popular saying in the Bamana culture “Anke dje, anke” which translates in English to “Everyone gather together in peace”.
A common thread that runs in our culture and our very being as Africans is music. Although varying in beats and in rhythm, depending on the region, we love music. It uplifts, inspires, motivates and unites us.
Congratulations Eddy Kenzo!
