On Saturday, Uganda’s flag flew high as Eddy Kenzo was voted the Global Male Act of the Year and Levixone picked up the Global Gospel Song of the Year Award at the 2021 Global Music Awards Africa.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Global Music Awards Africa was held as a virtual event in Ghana’s Accra on the 20th of March, 2021.

The awards platform was created by Ghana-based Smart Focus Media to recognize outstanding achievements by African artists while promoting African music globally.

In its first year, the awards platform has received worldwide recognition, as it honours the notable musical accomplishments of Africa’s musicians while promoting the continent as a global music destination.

To win the Global Male Act of the Year award, Eddy Kenzo beat Nigeria’s Bella Shmurda, Mr Leo of Cameroon, Kuami Eugene from Ghana, and Leczy of Nigeria.

Master KG won Record of the Year, while Kuami Eugene’s Son Of Africa won Album of the Year. Grammy winner Burna Boy won the Global Artist of the Year award.
