The African Union Commission, The International Committee of AFRIMA, and The Republic of Senegal jointly announced that the awards ceremony will now take place from January 12 to 15, 2023, in Dakar, Senegal,
moving the previous date back by four weeks.
This also means that the nominations voting deadline has been moved to January 13, 2023, at 23:00. (CAT).
After previous editions, this will be the first time the major awards ceremony is hosted in a francophone nation.
Meanwhile, The Head Culture Division, Social Affairs Division, African Union Commission (AUC), Angela Martins, said that the African Union is excited to have the awards hold in a francophone region.
“The AUC has been a strong partner and collaborator of the prestigious awards since its first edition in 2014.
AFRIMA has grown to become the only continental platform that aims to promote and disseminate musical works
and immeasurable talent of African Musicians from both young and old generations.
This prestigious platform gives expression and supports the implementation of the AU policy instruments
in the creative economy including the AU Plan of Action on Cultural and Creative Industries.
