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.
