No Malawian artist nominated in AFRIMMA Awards

Nominees for the African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA) were announced on Wednesday and Malawi has lost another opportunity as no local artist has been nominated.

AFRIMMAs are the biggest African music awards in Diaspora and are in their 3rd edition this year, after the success of the 1st and 2nd editions in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

This year’s prestigious award ceremony is slated for October 15 in Dallas, USA.

As Malawi misses out on the list, neighbouring countries Tanzania and Zambia have received several nominations, with prominent names Diamond, Roberto and Cleo Ice Queen making the list.

Other regional countries that have been nominated are Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.

Cassper Nyovest, AKA, Wizkid, Davido, Sarkodie, Flavour and Emtee are some of the big names to compete in what has become one of the highly esteemed African music awards events.
