After thoroughly studying the short listed artist below, the 13 man international jury have finally released the nominee list for the much anticipated 2016 edition of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA).
Nigeria’s Wizkid, Mavin star Tiwa Savage, Want You
singer Yemi Alade and Triple MG’s Tekno all made the nominee list and you would agree with me that all these talented acts have done very well for themselves so far.
 Voting would be open to all on August 30th, 2016 while November 4-6, 2016 will include the Africa Music Summit on Friday, November 4, and the AFRIMA Music Village, an open concert-style festival featuring nominees and whole lot of talented acts billed to perform. However, the grand finale would hold on the 6th of November in Lagos hosting nothing less than 2500 guests.
