Recording Academy announces plans to establish Grammy Africa

The Recording Academy, organizers of the Grammy Awards, announced plans to launch an African version of the prestigious award to support music creators globally.

Collaborations with African governments and key stakeholders aim to bolster the Academy's presence in rapidly growing music regions.

Initiatives include championing creators, providing training, producing original content, and advocating for IP protections.

This expansion follows the creation of the Best African Music Performance category in 2023, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity.

Ghanaian entrepreneur Dentaa Amoateng expressed excitement, noting her involvement in the historic moment.

The category encompasses diverse African genres like Ghanaian drill and highlife.
