Get ready for a deep dive into the groundbreaking nominations at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where African artists are making a major impact.
This episode explores the diverse talent from the continent, focusing on the highly-anticipated Best African Music Performance category and other key nominations. We'll break down the significance of this moment, highlighting how the Grammys are engaging more positively with African music.
This year, the nominations feature a range of artists across different genres. From Tems, with multiple nominations including Best R&B Song and Best Global Music Album, to Yemi Alade and her first-ever nomination for "Tomorrow", the episode will explore the stories behind the nominated artists and their music. We'll also examine the impact of nominations for artists such as Burna Boy, Asake, and Wizkid in the Best African Music Performance category. In addition, the podcast will discuss the nominations of Angélique Kidjo, Rocky Dawuni, and Rema, showcasing the wide spectrum of African musical talent being recognized.
This episode will discuss how the Recording Academy is attempting to understand and represent the richness of African music. With the creation of the Best African Music Performance category, the Grammys are taking steps to acknowledge the diversity of sound coming from the continent. However, the conversation is ongoing, and this episode will consider whether these efforts are enough to truly honor the vastness of African music beyond the limitations of what is considered "Afrobeats". We will discuss the question of whether an African artist will win a category over an American act, and what that might signify.
Join us as we explore the key talking points and stories behind the African nominees at the 2025 Grammys. From the diaspora, we will examine Shaboozey's five nominations and Jordan Adetunji's nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance. We will discuss how African artists are not just making waves within the continent but are also gaining global recognition and influencing the broader music scene
