Museke.com, together with its many partners, announced the launch of the annual Museke Online Music Awards (MOAMA’s) on April 6. The response from African musicians, music fans, and supporters of African music has been encouraging as people from all over Africa are embracing musicians they had previously never heard of and learning more about various African music styles and artistes.
With the 2010 FIFA World Cup putting the entire African continent on the international map, the
MOAMA’s winners will be seen as the best African musicians currently. Through the annual MOAMA’s, Museke aims to encourage the unity of Africans through our music. The MOAMA’s will honour the best African musicians over the course of 2009.
With a total of 130 nominations in 28 categories which will cover different genres and regions, the MOAMA’s prides itself in encompassing all African music, regardless of video submission, language, genre and country in recognition of excellence in music over the last year.
The full list of nominees can be found on http://moamas.com. Voting will take place on http://moamas.com until 29th May; the deadline has been extended to allow more African music fans to vote for their favorites and deserving winners.
The winners will be announced on 1st June. The winners of these prestigious online awards will be rewarded through various avenues of online promotion, which will gain the artists global recognition on museke.com as well as various other media outlets. They will also receive free services on how to expand their online presence, improve the website and social media capabilities and gain more visibility in the online space.
