Lots of African music stars including Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Diamond Platnumz, Casper Ynovest, Yemi Alade, Charlotte Dipanda, AKA, Olamide, Stanley Enow, Davido, Stonebwoy and 162 other African superstars confirmed attendance for AFRIMMA 2015 in Lagos.
In celebration of African music and culture, the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMMA) in league with the Africa Union Commission (AUC) has announced AFRIMMA 2015 nominees and the multiple award-winning male choral group from South Africa, Ladysmith Black Mambazo to lead the invasion of over (162) African superstars who have confirmed their attendances.
At the 2015 AFRIMMA Awards scheduled for Sunday, November 15 at Eko Convention Centre, Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Ladysmith is arguably the most decorated male group in Africa, who has won multiple awards including four Grammys in 1988, 2004, 2009 and 2013 respectively. Formed by Joseph Shabalala in 1960, the group had been singing together ever since. However, it was Ladysmith Black
Mambazo’s collaboration with Paul Simon in 1986 for the Graceland album that brought it the much needed international acclaim.
Confirming their performance at AFRIMMA Awards, band’s manager, Majozi Christopher Zolisile, says: “AFRIMMA 2015 will be staged in November which coincidentally is the month for Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s 55th anniversary. It will be amazing and electrifying to perform on a big stage like All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMMA) 2015 in Nigeria. We are looking forward to it.”
Other artistes billed to perform at the award ceremony include Yemi Alade from Nigeria, who broke records with her hit single, ‘Johnny’ in 2013. Her counterpart from Cameroon, Charlotte Dipanda, an Afro pop singer, who has worked with Congolese singer, Papa Wemba and provided
background vocals for Manu Dibango, Rokia Traore and Axelle Red will also grace the AFRIMMA stage. The duo of Diamond Platnumz, a Bongo Flava recording artist and dancer from Tanzania and Olamide from Nigeria will set the stage on fire at the AFRIMMA 2015. Both have won numerous awards.
