GOSPEL artistes Magg 44, Abel Chungu and Pompi have been nominated in the Best Southern African Artiste category at this year’s Groove Awards scheduled for June 1, 2015 in Nairobi, Kenya.
Speaking to the Weekend Mail, Pompi, who is a Groove Award 2014 winner, said the nomination gave him a great feeling.
“It’s awesome to know my music isn’t being appreciated only in Zambia and it’s also great to be nominated with my label mates, Abel Chungu and Magg 44,” he remarked.
The three artistes are nominated alongside South Africa’s Rebecca Malope, Benjamin Dube and Joyous Celebration.
Pompi recollected how over 22,000 fans voted for him to win last year’s Best Southern African Artiste Groove Award.
He said a second nomination was further testament that music is a universal language, and that being nominated next to greats such as Malope and Dube is “a huge honour”.
Artiste and producer Magg 44 said his nomination for the second time around came as “a nice surprise” and is an honour.
“It’s always unexpected, and to know that you have a following in other countries is a good feeling,” he said.
Magg 44 also shared that he is working on his second album, which he is targeting to release later this year.
The Groove Awards are considered East Africa’s premier gospel awards and will be in their 10th year running this year.
