“AFRIMMA 2017 promises to be the best ever edition of the 4th Annual African Muzik Magazine AFRIMMA AWARDS now known as AFRIMMA AWARDS AND MUSIC FESTIVAL. We have the decided to make the biggest African music awards ceremony in Diaspora even more enormous.
African music is the fastest growing genre in the world and if you are a lover of African music you should be excited about what AFRIMMA AWARDS AND MUSIC FESTIVAL 2017 has in stock . It is a thing of joy to see of African music and artists earn acclaim worldwide, these are the foundations on which the brand AFRIMMA is built.
Crossing boundaries with music is the mantra that gave birth to this award show and incorporating the music festival gives fans and audience a chance to enjoy their favorite acts the more with longer performance sets to be incorporated into the award ceremony. The venue for the grand celebration of AFrican music this year is the prestigious House of Blues, Dallas , a high profile venue that has hosted some of the finest and upscale events in Dallas, Texas.
October 8th, 2017 is the date , the weekend when the stars would roll into town and we all witness history being created right in our eyes. I have always said the time is now for Africa, it is a vision i had years back and I believed the Wizkids, Davidos, Diamond Platnumz, Mr Eazis, Fally Ipupas, can achieve international success with African music and Afrimma was created as platform to make this a reality.
Two new categories have been added to the 2017 edition of AFRIMMA, Best Lusophone and Best Francophone, the idea is to be able to further cast the spotlight as well as recognize and represent the artists from these regions also on the world stage.
The nominees list would also be revealed shortly as the count down intensifies to a grand award ceremony and music festival. This is going to be the best experience ever with a full weekend of activities lined up including welcome party, fashion show, meet and greet sessions, red carpet, award ceremony, music festival, after party and lots more,
At AFRIMMA my team and I are proud of the rich and glorious culture of motherland Africa and we do this for the culture, in the language of the culture and in the colours of the continent on an international stage. For the first time this year, the award show would be held on Sunday, and it promises to be the experience of a lifetime from Africa to the world. AFRIMMA 2017 AWARDS AND MUSIC FESTIVAL is poised to be a mind blowing experience.”
