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.

In the competition for Global Gospel Song of the Year, Levixone beat Nigeria’s Joe Praize, Diana Hamilton from Ghana, Zimbabwean Minister Michael Mahendere, Ghanaian Empress Gifty Osei and Nigerian Prospa Ochimana.

Among the night’s biggest winners was Nigeria’s Bella Shmurda, as he won the Global Collaboration award and Global Most Popular Song award.

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.

Likewise, a special recognition award will be presented to Bice Osei Kuffour, former president of the Musicians Union of Ghana, Hiplife veteran Reggie Rockstone, singer Nana Ama and broadcaster and musician Daniel Kofi Amoateng, all of whom contributed to African music.
