The prominent Mozambican saxophonist and composer Moreira Chonguiça has been nominated for an award by the All African Music Awards (AFRIMA) for the song “Ngoma” from his recent album “Live at Polana Serena Hotel”.
The nomination is in the Best African Jazz category. The nominees for all the categories are chosen by the African Union Commission (AUC) and the AFIRMA jury.
Commenting on the nomination process, AFIRMA’s Matlou Tsotetsi stated, “the urbane mix of African sounds in sync with modern tunes and works that promote the positive image of Africa to the world, are some of the guidelines the jury worked with during the screening and selection exercise”.
Moreira Chonguiça stated, “I am deeply honoured to have been nominated for this award. I have huge respect for my fellow nominees in this category”.
To take place in Lagos, Nigeria, the AFRIMA 3.0. calendar of events for November 4-6, 2016 will include the Africa Music Business Summit on Friday, November 4, and the AFRIMA Music Village, an open concert-style festival featuring nominees and other top billed music stars. Over 6,000 guests are expected in Lagos for the various events.
