SEE The Full List Of Nominees For The 2013 Channel O Music Awards
Nigeria receives 20 nominations
Nominations for the 10th annual Channel O Africa Music Awards were
announced today, revealing an open field in the race to claim Africa’s
most prestigious music awards.
Nominees in the 14 categories included multiple double nods for
over 10 artistes, from East, West and Southern African, reflecting the
outpouring of world-class music videos on the continent over the past
year. Nigerian artistes received 20 nominations across the relevant
categories including four of the six nominations in the Most Gifted African West Video category and another four in the coveted Most Gifted Video of the Year category.

Disappointingly, Nigerian Hip Hop artists earned no recognition for
their creative work in the competitive genre as indicated by their
conspicuous absence among nominees.
It is now up to fans to vote for their favourites in this
public-voted event, with more than two months for the continent’s music
fans to have their say.
This year’s nominees list features many long standing members of the African music scene, among them South Africa’s Oskido “TsaMandebele” for Most Gifted African Southern; Zimbabwe’s Buffalo Souljah “Basawine” for Most Gifted Ragga Dancehall Video and Mozambique’s Lizha James “VaisRochar” with Anselmo Ralph for Most Gifted Female.
The list of nominees is also bursting with new faces including the five contenders in the B category –Nigeria’s Lola Rae “Watch My Ting Go”; Nigeria’s Burna Boy “Tonight” South Africans Moneoa “Is’Bhanxa” and KhayaMthethwa “Move” and Kenya’s Victoria Kimani “Mtoto”.
The multiplicity of genres emerging in this highlight category of the
10th Annual Channel O Africa Music Video Awards –from Dance Pop to
contemporary Afrobeat and Afro-fusion –provides a brilliant glimpse into
the diversity of sounds that currently define Africa’s music scene.
To celebrate a decade of recognising the best African contemporary
music talent, the 10th Channel O Africa Music Awards has expanded the
prestigious Most Gifted Video of the Year category to 12 nominees, increasing the pressure on nominees in the most fiercely fought category at the awards.

The category again reveals the mix of newcomers and established
artists at this year’s event –a signal of the growing maturity of
Africa’s music scene.
Whether it is in the heavy hitting categories or the genre and
regional categories, there’s no doubting that the 10th Annual Channel O
Africa Music Video Awards have all the makings of a thrilling affair
when the LIVE event takes place on Saturday, November 30 at Walter
Sisulu Square, in Kliptown Soweto, South Africa.
Just who will win Africa’s biggest awards on the night is now in
the hands of fans! Voting opens tonight at 00:00 a.m. and closes on
